Chapter 8.8, Problem 84E
Organic chemists often purify organic compounds by a method known as fractional crystallization. An experimenter wanted to prepare and purify 4.85 g of aniline. Ten 4.85-gram specimens of aniline were prepared and purified to produce acetanilide. The following dry yields were obtained:
3.85, 3.88, 3.90, 3.62, 3.72, 3.80, 3.85, 3.36, 4.01, 3.82

The rare earth element gadolinium is often used as a contrasting agent for MRIS. The concentration of gadolinium was measured
in the discharge from a wastewater treatment plant near a large medical facility. Eight measurements were obtained: 1.254 ppm,
1.252 ppm, 1.246 ppm, 1.242 ppm, 1.815 ppm, 1.244 ppm, 1.251 ppm, 1.249 ppm.

- 1. Can balloons hold more air or more water before bursting? A student purchased a large bag of 12-inch balloons. He randomly selected 10 balloons from the bag and then randomly assigned half of them to be filled with air until bursting and the other half to be filled with water until bursting. He used devices to measure the amount of air and water was dispensed until the balloons burst. Here's the data: Air (ft') Water (ft) 0.52 0.44 0.58 0.41 0.50 0.55 0.46 0.61 0.38 0.45 Does the data give convincing evidence air filled balloons can attain a greater volume than water filled balloons?arrow_forwardcientists studied the chemical makeup of buried tills (glacial drifts) in order to estimate the age of the glacial drifts.
