You are given an impure sample of fluorene. Your crystallization solvent choices are water, methyl alcohol and toluene. Using your understanding of polarity and solubility, predict which solvent would be the best choice for crystallization. Briefly explain your answer choice and why the other two choices were eliminated.

The disinfection of drinking water to control microbial contaminants can form chemical disinfection byproducts. These compounds result from the reaction of chlorine with naturally occurring organic matter (the dissolved molecules that give natural water the yellow-greenish color). One class of disinfection byproducts is the malodorous and unpalatable chlorophenols. 2,4-dichlorophenol is one compound of this class. a) Calculate the vapor pressure p*L of 2,4-dichlorophenol at 60 °C using Tb and structural information only OH .CI M, = 163.0 g/mol Tm = 43.7 °C Tp = 213.0°C %3D %3D %3D
How can we predict if 1- propanol is mixed with distilled water? Are the mass and volume conserved? When you mix two gases what can we predict about the conservation of volume in this case?
