To separate a mixture of benzoic acid and fluorene, we are going to use an acid-base extraction technique. Most carboxylic acids

are insoluble or slightly soluble in water, but they are highly soluble in dilute aqueous sodium hydroxide because the organic acid reacts with the base and produces carboxylate ions, a polar species. In a mixture of a carboxylic acid and an organic compound, the acid may be selectively removed from an organic solvent by extracting with a dilute NaOH solution. After separating the organic and aqueous layers, the carboxylic acid may be recovered from the aqueous solution by adding HCl, which causes precipitation of the carboxylic acid. Draw two structures below.

Answer: please find attached to see the structure.

1. THE STRUCTURE OF BENZOIC ACID AND FLUORENE, soluble in ether and insoluble in water.

2. THE STRUCTURE OF CARBOXYLIC ACID BEEN EXTRACTED.

Explanation: the mixture of benzoic acid and fluorene are the first diagrams which shows the carboxylic acid attached to the benzene ring, which are soluble in ether and insoluble in water. When dissolved in NaOH(aq) is the carboxy ion becomes soluble in water but insoluble in ether, this is seen in the second diagram.

The third diagram shows the carboxylic acid been precipitated and soluble in ether but insoluble in water.

NOTE THE TWO MAIN DIAGRAM IS THE FIRST AND THE LAST DIAGRAM, WHERE CARBOXYLIC ACID DISSOLVES IN AQUEOUS SODIUM HYDROXIDE, AND WHEN THE ACID IS BEEN PRECIPITATED IN AQUEOUS HCl.

ALSO NOTE THE CHANGE IN BENZOIC RING MIXED WITH FLUORENE TO THAT OF THE ACID BEEN EXTRACTED.

Hope together with the picture, this has helped you.

Problem Page Suppose 25.1g of barium nitrate is dissolved in 200.mL of a 0.50 M aqueous solution of ammonium sulfate. Calculate
melomori [17]

Answer:

1.26 M

Explanation:

The ion nitrate is NO₃⁻ and the Barium is from group 2 so it forms the ion Ba²⁺, so the barium nitrate has the formula: Ba(NO₃)₂. The molar masses are: Ba: 137 g/mol, N = 14 g/mol, O = 16 g/mol, so the molar mass of barium nitrate is:

137 + 2x(14 + 3x16) = 199 g/mol

The number of moles is the mass divided by the molar mass, so:

n = 25.1/199 = 0.126 mol of Ba(NO₃)₂

In 1 mol of the salt, there are 2 moles of NO₃⁻, so the number of moles of nitrate is 0.252 mol. Nitrates formed with ammonium (that can react when the solid dissolves) and with elements from group 1 and 2 are completely soluble in water. So, the moles of nitrate will remain 0.252 mol.

The molarity is the number of moles divided by the volume (0.2 L):

[NO₃⁻]= 0.252/0.2 = 1.26 M

What is the ionsphere in the layers of the atmosphere?
Alika [10]
Hi!

The Ionosphere, also known as the Ozone Layer, is a layer in the atmosphere that is home to Ozone gas. This layer protects earth from ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

Hope this helps :)

A cylinder of oxygen gas contains 2.80 mol of 02. If the volume of the cylinder is 8.58 L, what is the pressure of the 02 if the
Anni [7]

Answer:

pressure of the oxygen gas is 7.88atm

Explanation:

Moles of oxygen in cylinder  =  2.80 mol

volume=8.58L

temperature=294K

molar gas constant(R)= 0.0821 L atm / (mol K)

The pressure is calculated using ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

making Pressure subject of the formula

P = nRT /V

  = 2.80× 0.0821 ×294  /8.58 L

P = 7.88 atm
