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.

The graph below shows the volume and the mass of four different substances at STP.

The formula of density is mass / volume

This means that
- high mass, low volume = high density
- high mass, high volume = so-so
- low mass, high volume = low density

From the graph shown, 
D has the lowest density because it has low mass yet high volume.

What is 30-9x2*2-21-4+4
IgorC [24]
Answer:
9 (1-2x²)

Explanation:
The given expression is:
30 - 9x²*2 - 21 - 4 + 4
The first step is to compute the multiplication. This will give:
30 - 18x² - 21 - 4 + 4
Then, we will add like terms as follows:
(30-21-4+4) - 18x²
= 9 - 18x²
Finally, we can take the 9 as a common factor from both terms, this will give:
9 (1-2x²)

Hope this helps :)

(900.0 mL) / (300.0 K) = (x) / (405.0 K); x = 1215 mL.

Change the 900 to 800, and the 300 to 27, then change the 405 to 132. And solve
