Question
4.A student carried out a simple distillation on a compound known to boil at 124°C and measured a boiling point of 116-117°C. Gas chromatography(a technique for assessing purity)showed that the compound was pure and a calibration check on the thermometer was positive. What might be wrong with the distillation apparatus setup?

- Suppose you wish to separate a mixture of fine particles of gold and sand, neither of which is soluble in water. If you add liquid mercury to the mixture, the sand will float to the top of the mixture while the gold will dissolve. The sand can then be skimmed from the surface. You can recover the gold by heating the solution to evaporate the liquid mercury. Create a flow chart to illustrate this separation and recovery scheme.arrow_forwardA student would like to prepare a 0.010 M solution from a 1.0 M stock solution with minimal error. The student can choose to do a one-step dilution that uses a 10 mL transfer pipet and a 1000 mL volumetric flask or a two-step dilution using a 50 mL pipet and a 1000 mL volumetric flask for the first dilution, and a 100 mL pipet and a 500 mL volumetric flask for the second dilution. Which method has the smallest overall relative uncertainty and what is the value? **Use table 4.2 on page 70 in your textbook for tolerances of the glassware.

- Starting from the primary standard solution in Question 4 and using the dilution scheme in Figure 1, calculate the concentrations of Standards #1-5. Show all work on a piece of scratch paper. Label each calculation clearly (Standard #1, Standard #2, etc) and circle your final answer for each standard. Be sure to round your answers to the correct number of significant figures and include units. Molarity in #4 is 0.0004089 M or 4.089x10^-4arrow_forwardBased off information from the attachment, please help with #9 on second attachmentarrow_forwardA stock solution of 0.225 +/- 0.003 M NaNO2 was transferred to a 100 mL volumetric flask (class A) and diluted to the mark.

- Six 50.0 ml volumetric flask 1 through 6 are labeled. 10.00 ml of 2.00 x 10-1 M Fe(NO3)3 solution was then pipet into each volumetric flask. A 1.00,2.00,3.00,4.00 and 5.00ml of 2.00 x 10-3M NaSCN solution was then pipetted to flask 2 through 6 respectively. A sufficient amount of 0.10 M nitric acid was then added to each flask to make each a total volume of 50.00ml.

You have a working standard solution with a concentration of 59.4 ppm which returned a Peak Height of 10,164 and Peak Area of 5,315. You take 44.4 L of the water sample and concentrate it to 0.3 L and analyze this solution. The Peak Height is 9,119 and the Peak Area is 6,320. What is the concentration of parabens in the effluent of the plant in mg/L to two decimal places.arrow_forwardOne milliliter (mL) of pure water has a mass of 1 gram (g). You add 100 mL of water and 100 mL of an organic solvent to a separatory funnel, shake, and let settle. There will be two layers of liquids. Select the one solvent listed below that will result in the water layer being the top layer. For each solvent, density (d) is given in g/ml. Toluene (d = 0.86) Tetrahydrofuran (d = 0.88) water is never the top layer Methylene chloride (d = 1.33)arrow_forward
- A 25mL volumetric pipet is used to deliver a sample of the stock solution marked “0.6000M X2SO4” into a 100mL volumetric flask. Distilled water is added to the flask until it is about 3/4thfull, the solution is mixed well, then more water is added to fill it up to the calibration mark, then it is mixed again.

Then you add two drops of the indicator, phenolphthalein, to the oxalic acid solution in the flask. You dispense the NaOH solution from the buret into the flask (while swirling the flask) until you reach the endpoint. At the endpoint, the solution in the flask turns light pink. You repeat the titration two additional times for a total of three trials.
