How could you separate a mixture of acetone and alpha-naphthol?

Chemistry

Answer :  The mixture of acetone and alpha naphthol can be separated using simple distillation method.

Explanation :

The melting point of alpha naphthol is around 95 °C whereas boiling point of acetone is around 55°C. Therefore the mixture can be separated using simple distillation method.

In this method, the mixture is taken in a stoppered bottle which has a tube inserted through the stopper for passing the vapors .The container is gently heated. Acetone being volatile, gets converted to vapors at its boiling point. Since melting point of alpha naphthol is much higher than the boiling point of acetone, it remains in dissolved form and does not melt when the mixture is heated.

The vapors of acetone are passed through the tube and as they pass through the tube, they get condensed. The condensed liquid is collected in another container.

After all the acetone is evaporated, solid alpha naphthol is left at the bottom of the container.

In this manner, the mixture of acetone and alpha naphthol is separated.

Determine the bonding type for boron trihydride given the electronegativity on the Pauling scale for boron is 2.0 and for hydrog
Anika [276]

Answer: The bond between boron and hydrogen in boron trihydride is covalent bond.

Explanation:

The type of bonding between the atoms forming a compound is determined by using the electronegativity difference between the atoms. According to the pauling's electronegativity rule:

  • If \Delta \chi=0, then the bond is non-polar.
  • If \Delta \chi\leq 1.7, then the bond will be covalent.
  • If \Delta \chi>1.7, then the bond will be ionic.

We are given:

Electronegativity for boron = 2.0

Electronegativity for hydrogen = 2.1

\Delta \chi=\chi_{H}-\chi_{B}\\\\\Delta \chi=2.1-2.0=0.1

As, \Delta \chi is less than 1.7 and not equal to 0. Hence, the bond between boron and hydrogen is covalent bond.
