You are performing a simple distillation of roughly 50:50 liquid solution containing two components, hexane and nonane You place

15 ml of the mixture in a round bottom flask, and then collect the distillate sequentially as four three ml samples labeled S1, S2, S3, and S4. Pure hexane has a refractive index of 1.375 and pure nonane has a refractive index of 1.407. You measure a refractive index of 1.385 for one of the four samples. Assuming the refractive index varies linearly with mole fraction, estimate the mole fraction of hexane in this sample.

Answer:

Explanation:

Refractive index is a undimensional measurement that describes how fast light travels through the material. It is used to see the liquid purity of compounds.

In this problem you have in the beginning a 50:50 solution oh hexane:nonane and realize distillation.

In distillation the collect is enriched with the most volatille substance (hexane). So you will have in the final sample more hexane than nonane.

Assuming the refractive index varies linearly with mole fraction, you will have:

1,375 → 100% hexane

1,407 → 100% nonane

1,385 → ???

molar fraction of hexane:

100 - (1,385 - 1,375) / (1,407 - 1,375) × 100 = 69 %

molar fraction of nonane:

100 - (1,407 - 1,385) / (1,407 - 1,375) × 100 = 31 %

The relation of the distillating fraction is (69:31) of (hexane:nonane)

You can see that distillation is a technique that allows the separation of a liquid mixture, for example.

I hope it helps!

Because if they are submerged in the solvent, they would dissolve! This would prevent them from seperating and not allow you to actually record anything

A bike lost 20% of its value after the first year, its value after the first year is $1039. Calculate the original price of the
musickatia [10]

Answer:

$1246.90

Explanation:

Since the bike lost 20%% of it's value and it now currently at $$1039, we have to do 20% * $1039 to find the amount of money lost. 20%*1039=207.8. We have to add it up to find the original value so 1039+207.8=$1246.8

Homogeneous series of n-propyl bromide?
goldenfox [79]

The homologous series ( not homogeneous series ) of n-propyl bromide is C3H7Br. It is also known as 1-Bromopropane

n-propyl bromide or 1-bromopropane, is a solvent that is used in cleaning metals, vapor degreasing and also for dry cleaning.

<h3>What is Homologous series?</h3>

Homologous series is a family of organic compound which follows a regular structural pattern and in which successive members differs from one another by a molecular formula of CH2

Below are some of their characteristics:

  • The general formula of all compounds in the series is the same.
  • They have the same functional group.
  • Their physical properties such as melting point, boiling point, density, generally show a gradual change with increase of molecular formula in the series.
