Answer: option A. to decrease the solubility of the organic product in water
Explanation: sodium chloride solution act as a drying agent to remove water from an organic compound that is in solution. The salt water works to pull the water from the organic layer to the water layer,therby decreasing
Answer: Gold.
Explanation: Water, CO2, and table salt are compounds. They are composed of two or more separate elements; a mixture, where as gold is neither.
Answer:
- 602 mg of CO₂ and 94.8 mg of H₂O
Explanation:
The<em> yield</em> is measured by the amount of each product produced by the reaction.
The chemical formula of <em>fluorene</em> is C₁₃H₁₀, and its molar mass is 166.223 g/mol.
The <em>oxidation</em>, also know as combustion, of this hydrocarbon is represented by the following balanced chemical equation:

To calculate the yield follow these steps:
<u>1. Mole ratio</u>

<u />
<u>2. Convert 175mg of fluorene to number of moles</u>
- Number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass
<u>3. Set a proportion for each product of the reaction</u>
a) <u>For CO₂</u>
i) number of moles


ii) mass in grams
The molar mass of CO₂ is 44.01g/mol
- mass = number of moles × molar mass
- mass = 0.013686 moles × 44.01 g/mol = 0.602 g = 602mg
b) <u>For H₂O</u>
i) number of moles

ii) mass in grams
The molar mass of H₂O is 18.015g/mol
- mass = number of moles × molar mass
- mass = 0.00526 moles × 18.015 g/mol = 0.0948mg = 94.8 mg
