A scientist wishes to measure the concentration of methyl benzoate in a plant stream by gas chromatography. He prepares a sample of butyl benzoate to use as an internal standard. The results of a preliminary run, which used a solution known to contain 1.37 mg/mL of methyl benzoate (peak A) and 1.51 mg/mL of butyl benzoate (peak B), are shown. The area of peak A is determined to be 301 and the area of peak B is determined to be 349 measured in arbitrary units by the computer. To measure the sample, 1.00 mL of a standard sample of butyl benzoate containing 2.41 mg/mL is mixed with 1.00 mL of the plant stream material. Analysis of the mixture gave a 10 Time (min) 15 peak area of 499 for peak A and 417 for peak B. What is the concentration of methyl benzoate in the plant stream? methyl benzoate concentration: mg/mL Detector Response

TOPIC: Recrystallization Students were tasked to conduct a recrystallization experiment to test the ability of the three newly discovered solvents in their laboratory to purify and separate a mixture containing compounds X and Y. The solubilities of the two compounds in g/50 mL of hot and cold solvents are given in the table. Given the data, if a mixture containing 9.0 g each of X and Y is to be recrystallized from 100 milliliters of the solvents, what is the best solvent to use? Support your answer by doing a schematic diagram for EACH solvent.
1. A solution is known to contain 38.04 ± 0.03 mM KCl, and you have taken an aliquot of this solution using a pipette calibrated to deliver 20.013 ±0.006 mL. Determine the number of moles of KCl that are delivered in the aliquot, including the absolute uncertainly in that value. 2. You deliver the aliquot taken in problem 1 into a volumetric flask with a volume of 250.00 mL ± 0.02 % and dilute the solution to volume in the flask using Dl water. What is the concentration of KCl in this flask, report your answer with the absolute uncertainty. 3. Tabulated below are replicate titration volumes for an analysis. What is the error (both absolute and percent) for the average titration volume?

Which statement about the determination of the percentage purity of benzoic acid is correct? * A- Only sodium hydroxide solution can be used as the titrant in the volumetric analysis of benzoic acid. B- Analysing a benzoic acid sample that still contains some hydrochloric acid may yield an analyte percentage that is less than expected. C- Analysing a wet benzoic acid sample may yield an analyte percentage that is more than expected. D- All these statements are correct. E- None of these statements are correct.
