A mixture of benzoic acid and naphthalene was dissolved in tert-butyl methyl ether and the resulting solution was extracted with

aqueous sodium bicarbonate. The lower layer was separated and to it was added concentrated hydrochloric acid, upon which a white precipitate formed. What was the structure of the precipitate?

Answer:

C₆H₅COOH Benzoic Acid

Explanation:

Here we are using the extraction method to separate  benzoic acid from naphtalene in the  ether solution  by reacting it with the base sodium bicarbonate to produce the salt sodium benzoate  ( naphtalene remains in the organic layer )  .

The sodium benzoate  is completely soluble in the aqueous layer being a salt, and  reacts with hydrochloric acid ( again an acid base reaction ) which precipitates the benzoic acid  since the it is insoluble in water hence  separating it.

35.10 g of aluminum hydroxide is allowed to react with 53.94 g of sulfuric acid as follows:2Al(OH)3(s) + 3H2SO4(aq) -------->
ikadub [295]

Answer:

62.586 gram

Explanation:

moles of Al(OH)3 = mass / molar mass = 35.1 / (27+17x3) = 0.45 mol

moles of H2SO4 = mass / molar mass = 53.94 / (2+32+16x4) = 0.55 mol

H2SO4 is the limiting reagent (reacts completely)

⇒ moles of Al2(SO4)3 is worked out by moles of H2SO4

moles of Al2(SO4)3 = moles of H2SO4 / 3 = 0.183 mol

mass of Al2(SO4)3 = mole x molar mass = 0.183 x (27x2 + 96x3) = 62.586 gram
