4. A chemist at a company performed a recrystallization on 20 grams of a very slightly impure sample that costs $10,000 per gram when it is pure. Unfortunately, they only had a recovery of 1 gram of the desired pure compound which is well below what was expected. This appears to be an incredibly costly mistake. Is this mistake fixable? If it is fixable explain how you would fix the mistake? If it is not fixable explain why it is not fixable.

Question 1 Saved The ethanol standard in Test Tube 7 wil| have a final concentration of 0.30 A %(v/v) ethanol. Question 2 The concentration of a diluted "wine" sample was found to be 0.32 %(v/v) ethanol. Assuming the dilution was done as described in Part B of the procedure for this lab, what was the original concentration of ethanol in the "wine"? Enter your answer with 2 significant figures. Test tube # 1 4 8 9. 1.0%(v/v) ethanol (mL) DI water (mL) | 20.0 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0 7.0 8.0 19.0 18.0 17.0 16.0 15.0 14.0 13.0 12.0
Beyond the Course: Your beverage company is branching out from added sugar in their beverages to make a drink where the main ingredient is fresh-squeezed orange juice, called Beverage C. Yum! The beverage will still be subjected to the same taxes as Beverages A & B, so determining sugar content is still vital. Suggest a method of reliably examining the sugar concentration in each batch of Beverage C. Some considerations to address: Do you want to measure the same property for Beverage C as you did for Beverages A & B? ● Can you use the same calibration curve as you did for Beverages A & B? Describe the considerations you made when determining your method.

Incorrect Row 2: Your answer is wrong. In addition to checking your math, check that you used the right data and DID NOT round any intermediate calculations. Calculate the solubility at 25 °C of AgCl in pure water and in 0.34 M NaCN. You'll probably find some useful data in the ALEKS Data resource. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. Solubility in pure water: Solubility in 0.34 M NaCN: 1.3 × 10™³M ☐ x10 OM ☑
You are attempting to purify a compound via recrystallization. You prepare the process through the following method: 1) Dissolve the material in a minimal amount of hot EtOH. 2) Slowly add hot water until the compound is slightly cloudy. 3) Add a small amount of EtOH until the solution is just clear (still hot). 4) Cool to RT. Upon cooling to RT you notice that the compound is not precipitating out of solution. You decide to boil off some ethanol. Upon completing this step and cooling to RT you notice that the compound is precipitating out as desired! In which solvent is your compound the least soluble? Ethanol O Water O The ethanol water mixture Insoluble in all of these solvents
