The water and the spirit can be easily separated by a method called fractional distillation.

<u>Explanation:</u>

There are many ways of separating alcohol from water. The most common method is by heating. Water has a higher boiling point when compared to alcohol and the water can be easily evaporated into the air.
This method is called Fractional distillation. As it requires a rounded flash, a beaker, and a container. If the content is put under the heat for a certain degree celsius the water in the content is evaporated.
It is to be collected and connected to a container. At last, the alcohol and water are separated.

You are given a solution of HCOOH (formic acid) with an approximate concentration of 0.20 M and you will titrate this with a 0.1

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{36 mL}}$

Explanation:

1. Write the balanced chemical equation.

$\rm HCOOH + NaOH $ \longrightarrow$ HCOONa + H$_{2}$O$

2. Calculate the moles of HCOOH

$\text{Moles of HCOOH} =\text{20.00 mL HCOOH } \times \dfrac{\text{0.20 mmol HCOOHl}}{\text{1 mL HCOOH}} = \text{4.00 mmol HCOOH}$

3. Calculate the moles of NaOH.

$\text{Moles of NaOH = 4.00 mmol HCOOH } \times \dfrac{\text{1 mmol NaOH} }{\text{1 mmol HCOOH}} = \text{4.00 mmol NaOH}$

4. Calculate the volume of NaOH

$c = \text{4.00 mmol NaOH } \times \dfrac{\text{1 mL NaOH }}{\text{0.1105 mmol NaOH }} = \textbf{36 mL NaOH }\\\\\text{The titration will require }\boxed{\textbf{36 mL of NaOH}}$

Why can scratching at the bottom of a flask induce crystallization?

Ksenya-84 [330]

Scratching causes cracks and crevices on the surface of the flask (though microscopically). These will act as favorable sites for nucleation, which leads to the formation of crystals.
