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.

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The correct thing to do in this case would be to <u>repeat the experiment.</u>

The scientist would need to repeat the experiment in order to double-check the accuracy. If the accuracy is indeed doubtful, he/she can be able to trace the source of the error by repeating the experiment.

The correct option is D.

A voltaic cell is constructed from an Ni2+(aq)−Ni(s)Ni2+(aq)−Ni(s) half-cell and an Ag+(aq)−Ag(s)Ag+(aq)−Ag(s) half-cell. The in
eduard

Answer:

+1.03 V

Explanation:

The standard emf of the voltaic cell is the value of the standard potential of it, which is calculated by the standard reduction potential (E°).

The standard reduction potential is the potential needed for the reduction reaction happen, and it's determined by the reaction with the hydrogen cell (which has E° = 0.0V). The half-reactions of reduction of Ni⁺² and Ag⁺, are:

Ni⁺²(aq) + 2e⁻ → Ni(s) E° = -0.23 V

Ag⁺(aq) + e⁻ → Ag(s) E° = +0.80 V

The value is calculated by a spontaneous reaction, in which the cell with the greater E° is reduced (gain electrons), and the other is oxidized (loses electrons). So, Ag⁺ reduces.

emf = E°reduces - E°oxides

emf = 0.80 - (-0.23)

emf = +1.03 V
