Chapter 1, Problem 7QAP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The analysis of the situation made by David and Suzan arriving at the theory which the lead glazes on the pottery responsible for their symptoms are to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The study of matter with its properties and their interaction with the energy to form another substance is known as Chemistry and focusing on these things is called chemistry in focus.

Archimedes, a famous Greek scientist, was given a problem by King Hieron II of Syracuse (Sicily). The king suspected that his crown, which was supposed to be made of pure gold, contained some silver alloy, and he asked Archimedes to prove or disprove his suspicion. (It turned out that the crown did not contain silver.) How would you experimentally determined whether or not the crown was pure gold? (Hint: The method came to Archimedes when getting into a full bathtub. See the footnote in Experiment 22 for Archimedes’ solution.)
It is always important to label everything in the dispensary or the medicinal chemistry laboratory. One student made aspirin and the other student made paracetamol. Both students left their unlabelled samples near the balance. Give details of two techniques that you could use to distinguish between these samples
2. Why is it important to know the use of laboratory tools and equipment?

Several students performed this experiment without paying adequate attention to the details of the procedure. Briefly explain what effect each of the following procedural hanges would have on the size of the volume- to- temperature ratio calculated by the students. (a) One student failed to replenish the boiling water in the boiling- water bath as the flask was being heated. At the end of the 6 min of heating, the boiling water in the bath was only in contact with the lower portion of the flask. (b) Following the proper heating of the flask in the boiling water, a student removed the flask from the boiling- water bath but only partially immersed the flask in the ice-water bath during the cooling period. (c) A student neglected to close the pinch clamp before removing the flask from the boiling water bath and immersing it in the ice-water bath.

A drink mix sample is prepared by mixing a packet of beverage powder in a gallon (3.78 L) of water. A sample for analysis is prepared by diluting 10.00 mL of this solution in a 50.0 mL volumetric flask. When measured using a colorimeter, this diluted solution has an absorbance of (3.49x10^-1). The calibration curve for the experiment yielded a linear fit of y = (2.650x10^4)x+(4.215x10^-2) and an R2 value of 0.9911. Determine the molar concentration of food dye in the sample.arrow_forward
