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

Chemistry

kolezko [41]3 years ago

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.

Will the water level of the sea increase when there is global warming
alexdok [17]
Global warming will cause see levels to rise since a lot of water is stored in ice sheets which will melt.  All of the melt water will end up in the ocean causing sea levels to rise.

I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.

4. The reaction of silver nitrate and potassium bromide yields silver bromide and potassium nitrate. If
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

1.) AgNO₃

2.) 0.563 moles AgBr

Explanation:

The limiting reagent is the reagent that is used up completely during a reaction. It can be identified by calculating which reactant produces the smallest amount of product. This can be done by determining the number of moles of each reagent (via molarity conversion). and then converting it to moles of the product (via mole-to-mole ratio).

AgNO₃ (aq) + KBr (aq) ---> AgBr (s) + KNO₃ (aq)

Molarity (M) = moles / liters

100 mL = 1 L

AgNO₃

45.0 mL / 100 = 45.0 L

1.25 M = ? moles / 0.450 L

? moles = 0.563 moles

KBr

75.0 mL / 100 = 0.750 L

0.800 M = ? moles / 0.750 L

? moles = 0.600 moles

In this case, there is no need to use the mole-to-mole ratio because all of the coefficients are one in the reaction (the amount of the limiting reagent used is the same amount of product produced). Since AgNO₃ produces the smaller amount of product, it is the limiting reagent.

The measurement 3.8 x 10^3 g could also be written as
solmaris [256]

Right now it's written in scientific notation, so you can just move the decimal place in 3.8 to the right 3 times (as it is times 10 to the third power) to get 3,800g.
