I need help completing this flowchart on separating a mixture of sand, sodium chloride, and acetanilide

Chemistry

The key to most "how do I separate." questions is solubility.

The trick is to add a liquid that will only dissolve one substance but not another.

Let's say you had a beaker full of sand, table salt (NaCl), and acetanilide. Is there anything you can add that would only dissolve one of these three substances?

Yes, there is! Acetanilide like most organic compounds, isn't soluble in water. But salt is soluble in water. So to the mixture, I would add water, and then pass the water through a filter. The filter paper will "catch" the sand and acetanilide, but the table salt will remain dissolved in the water. If you then let that water evaporate (either via boiling or under vacuum), you will recover your salt.

So now, how to do you separate the sand from the acetanilide? Sand isn't really soluble in anything, but acetanilide is soluble in organic solvents, such as ethanol. So to the mixture of sand and acetanilide, add ethanol, and pass it through a filter. The sand will once again get stuck in the filter paper, and your acetanilide will be dissolved in ethanol. Remove the ethanol (via vacuum, or rotovap) and you will be left with acetanilide.

How many solutions does the system have? zero one two three four infinitely many.
Ber [7]

Answer:

the system has infinitely many solutions.

Explanation:

The system is 2x + y = 1 and 4x + 2y = 2. Solutions to a system are the intersection points. Since these two lines are the same line they intersect everywhere. There are infinitely many solutions.

If you have 10cm of snow with a volume of 40mL and a density of 0.5 g/mL how many inches of rain is this?
Lelu [443]

Density is the mass of compound divided by its volume can be shown as follows:

d = 0.5 g /mL = m /V = m /40 = 0.5

m = 20 g

40 mL of snow having 20 g of mass calculated from density.

Now, 10 cm of snow = 3.93 inches = 20 g  

As, 10 inches of rain will produce 11 inches of ice as the volume of ice is bigger than rain water.

10 inches rain = 11 inches snow

3.93 inches of snow produced by  

= (3.93 * 10) /11 = 3.57 inches rain.

Thus, 3.57 incehs of rain produces by 10 cm snow.

There are three competing factors at play here: 1. The effective nuclear charge 2. The size of the atom and the force of attract
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

These three factors are required for ionization potential or ionization energy.

Explanation:

Ionization potential refers to the amount of energy which is required for the removal of outermost electron of the atom. If the atom size is big so the outermost electron is far from the nucleus and low energy is required for its removal due to lower force of attraction between nucleus and outermost electron. If the nuclear charge is higher, so the electron is tightly held by the nucleus and require more energy for its removal. Nuclear charge means number of protons present in the nucleus.

Question 8 of 8> 0 Attempt 2 A chemist needs to determine the concentration of a sulfuric acid solution by titration with a s
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

12.29 M

Explanation:

  • The reaction that takes place is:

H₂SO₄ + 2NaOH → 2Na⁺ + SO₄⁻² + 2H₂O

  • Now let's calculate the <u>moles of H₂SO₄ that were titrated</u>:

0.1284 M * 0.1915L*\frac{1molAcid}{2molNaOH} = 0.01229 mol H₂SO₄.

  • Thus, the <u>concentration of the diluted solution is</u>:

0.01229 mol H₂SO₄ / 0.010 L = 1.229 M

  • Finally, the <u>concentration of the original acid solution is:</u>

1.229 M*\frac{250mL}{25mL} = 12.29 M
