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.

A children's liquid cold medicine has a specific gravity of 1.23. If a child is to take 1.5 tsp in a dose, what is the mass (in
julia-pushkina [17]

Assume 1 tsp is approximately can hold 5 mL liquid.

Given the dose of medicine = 1.5 tsp

Converting 1.5 tsp to mL:

1.5 tsp * \frac{5 mL}{1 tsp} = 7.5 mL

Given the specific gravity of the medicine = 1.23

That means density of the medicine with respect to water will be 1.23

As the density of water is 1 g/mL

We can take density of the medicine to be 1.23 g/mL

Calculating the mass of medicine in grams:

7.5 mL * \frac{1.23 g}{mL} =9.225 g

9.225 g medicine is present in one dose.

Bi2(CO3)3<br> Name of this compound
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

The name of this compound is :

Bi2(CO3)3 = Bismuth Carbonate

Explanation:

The name of the compound is derived from the name of the elements present  in it.

The rule followed while naming the compound are:

1. The first element (always the cation) is named as such .

2. The second element (The anion) end with "-ate ,  -ide ," etc

3. NO prefix is added while naming the first element.

For example : Bi2 can't be named as Dibismuth

Na2 = Can't be named as disodium

Hence the compound :

Bi2(CO3)3 contain two element : Bi and CO3. Here , Bi = cation (named as such) and CO3 = anion (named according to rules)

Bi = Bismuth

CO3 = carbonate

Bi2(CO3)3 = Bismuth Carbonate

The molecular mass of this compound is :

Molecular mass = 2 (mass of Bi) + 3(mass of C) + 6(mass of O)

= 2 (208.98)+3(12.01)+6(15.99)

= 597.987 u

Which two elements have properties that are alike
Feliz [49]
Answer:
Barium and Calcium

Explanation:
When heated with chlorine,
Both calcium and barium are able to form ionic bonds.
Hydrogen can only form bonds that are partial positive. It is not strong enough to be considered an ionic bond.
Silicon forms strong covalent with chlorine, called silicon tetrachloride. The structure is in diamond form which requires a lot of heat energy to break the bonds are way more than energy needed to break the bonds between calcium chloride.
Krypton is an inert element which does not form bonds with any elements under standard conditions
