A compound possessing a carboxylic acid produces a yellow solution when dissolved in diethyl ether. This yellow solution is tran

sferred to a separatory funnel and an aqueous solution of sodium chloride is added as well. After mixing the two solutions and allowing them to settle, two layers form. Which of the following statements is true about the resulting layers?
A. The top layer will be diethyl ether, and the top layer will be yellow.
B. The top layer will be diethyl ether, and the bottom layer will be yellow.
C. The bottom layer will be diethyl ether, and bottom layer will be yellow.

Answer:

A. The top layer will be diethyl ether, and the top layer will be yellow.

Explanation:

The purpose of the addition of the saturated aqueous solution of polar solvents like sodium chloride in the liquid-liquid extraction techniques is to remove as well as separate any kind of water which may be dissolved in the ether. Water and sodium chloride are both polar and thus, they forms the bottom layer and only ether forms the top layer. The compound being organic and is colored is in the top layer with the ether.

Hence, answer - A. The top layer will be diethyl ether, and the top layer will be yellow.

The average atomic mass of oxygen is 16 amu.

According to the formula of average atomic mass of oxygen

= \frac{Sum of (Mass of each isotope)(relative abundance)}{100} \\\\= \frac{((16)(99.76)+(17)(0.037)+(18)(0.204)}{100} \\\\=16 amu

20 mL of an approximately 10% aqueous solution of ethylamine, CH3CH2NH2, is titrated with 0.3000 M aqueous HCl. Which indicator
Vinvika [58]

20 mL of an approximately 10% aqueous solution of ethylamine, CH3CH2NH2, is titrated with 0.3000 M aqueous HCl. Which indicator would be most suitable for this titration? The pKa of CH3CH2NH3+ is 10.75.

Answer:

Bromocresol green, color change from pH = 4.0 to  5.6

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction is as follows:

C_2H_5NH_{2(aq)     +     H^+_{(aq)      ⇄        C_2H_5NH_{3(aq)}^+

Given that concentration of C_2H_5NH_{2(aq) = 10%

i.e 10 g of C_2H_5NH_{2(aq) in 100 ml solution

molar mass = 45.08 g/mol

number of moles = \frac{10}{45.08}

= 0.222 mol

Molarity of C_2H_5NH_{2(aq) = 0.222 × \frac{1000}{100}mL

= 2.22 M

However, number of moles of C_2H_5NH_{2(aq) in 20 mL can be determined as:

number of moles of C_2H_5NH_{2(aq) = 20 mL × 2.22 M

= 44*10^{-3} mole

Concentration of C_2H_5NH_{2(aq) = \frac{44*10^{-3}*1000}{20}

= 2.22 M

Similarly, The pKa Value of C_2H_5NH_{2(aq)  is given as 10.75

pKb value will be: 14 - pKa

= 14 - 10.75

= 3.25

Finally, the pH value at equivalence point is:

pH= \frac{1}{2}pKa - \frac{1}{2}pKb-\frac{1}{2}log[C]

pH = \frac{14}{2}-\frac{3.25}{2}-\frac{1}{2}log [2.22]

pH = 5.21

∴

The indicator that is best fit for the given titration is Bromocresol Green Color change from pH between 4.0 to 5.6.
