The solubility of acetanilide is 12.8 g in 100 mL of ethanol at 0 ∘C, and 46.4 g in 100 mL of ethanol at 60 ∘C. What is the maxi

mum percent recovery that can be achieved for the recrystallization of acetanilide from ethanol?
A student was given a sample of crude acetanilide to recrystallize. The initial mass of the the crude acetanilide was 171 mg.The mass after recrystallization was 125 mg.

Calculate the percent recovery from recrystallization.

Answer: 72.41% and 26.90% respectively.

Explanation:

At 60°C, you can dissolve 46.4g of acetanilide in 100mL of ethanol. If you lower the temperature, at 0°C, you can dissolve just 12.8g, which means (46.4g-12.8g)=33.6g of acetanilide must have precipitated from the solution.

We can calculate recovery as:

\%R=\frac{crystalized\ mass}{initial\ mass}*100 =\frac{33.6\ g}{46.4\ g}*100=72.41\%

So the answer to the first question is 72.41%.

For the second part just use the same formula, the mass of the precipitate is the final mass minus the initial mass, (171mg-125mg)=46mg.

\%R=\frac{crystalized\ mass}{initial\ mass}*100 =\frac{46\ mg}{171\ mg}*100=26.90\%

So the answer to the second question is 26.90%.

The number of protons in a neutral atom is balanced by an equal number of
anastassius [24]
There would be an equal amounts of ELECTRONS.

In order for the atom to be neutral it would imply that the number of protons (positive particles) and the number of electrons (negative particles) are equal since the neutrons are without charge.

Doss [256]
K + I - > KI 
Potassium (needs to lose 1 electron) responds with Iodine (needs to pick up 1 electron) to fulfill both component's octet, shaping a salt, potassium iodide 
This is a similar case for NaCl, simply unique components. Trust this made a difference.

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

The correct option is;

c. the bone contains calcium salts, which are less reactive than the calcium ions found in the blood.

Explanation:

The most abundant metallic element found in the human body is calcium as it is present in the bones teeth and metabolism of the kidney

99 %  of the calcium in the human body are found in the bones while the remaining 1 % circulates in the blood as ions

The bones of the vertebrate are made up of calcium salts such as calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate and calcium fluoride.

How do you convert between the volume of a gas at STP and the number of moles of the gas?
Naya [18.7K]
Standard temperature and pressure (STP) means a temperature of 0°c and a pressure of 1 atmosphere (atm). The molar gas volume is used to convert between the number of moles of a gas and the volume of the gas at STP. One mole of a gas occupies a volume of 22400 cm³ or 22.4 liters at STP according to the molar gas volume.
