a. extraction with a solution of hydrochloric acid, separating the layers, followed by drying and evaporating the organic layer.

b. extraction with a solution of sodium bicarbonate, separating the layers, followed by drying and evaporating the organic layer.

c. drying and evaporating the organic layer.

d. extraction with a solution of sodium bicarbonate, separating the layers, add diethyl ether to the aqueous layer, extracting with a solution of hydrochloric acid, filtering and recrystallization the solid product.

Answer:

b. Extraction with a solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate, separating the layers, followed by drying and evaporating the organic layer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ether solution contains your product, benzaldehyde, and some starting material, benzoic acid, the purification steps are:

  1. Extract with a solution of NaHCO₃. The ether layer contains benzaldehyde, and the aqueous layer contains sodium benzoate.
  2. Separate the layers. Keep the ether layer.
  3. Dry the ether solution.
  4. Distill the ether (boiling point 35 °C) and purify the benzaldehyde (178 °C) by steam distillation.

a. is wrong. Extraction with HCl will not remove much of the benzoic acid.

c. is wrong. If you evaporate the organic layer, you will have a mixture of benzaldehyde and benzoic acid.

d. is wrong. If you work with the aqueous layer, you will end up with benzoic acid,

In the reaction CuO(s) + CO2(g) → CuCO3(s), a. CO2 is the Lewis acid and CuCO3 is its conjugate base. b. O2– acts as a Lewis bas
adoni [48]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option d.

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to Lewis acid-base concept:

The substance which is donating electron pair is considered as Lewis base and the substance which is accepting electron pair is considered as Lewis acid.

For the given chemical reaction:

CuO(s)+CO_2(g)\rightarrow CuCO_3(s)

CO_2 is accepting electron pair and is getting converted to CO_3^{2-}. Thus, it is considered as Lewis acid.

O^{2-} present in CuO is a Lewis base because it is donating electron pair.

Thus, the correct answer is Option d.

In breckenridge, colorado, the typical atmospheric pressure is 520. torr. what is the boiling point of water (hvap 40.7 kj/mol)
Art [367]
<span>362.51 Kelvin ln (p1/p2) =( dH / R) (1/T2 - 1/T1) ln (760 Torr /520Torr) =( 40,700 Joules / 8.314 J molâ’1K-1)(1/T2 - 1/373K) ln (1.4615) =( 4895.35)(1/T2 - 0.002681) 0.37946 = 4895.35/T2 - (0.002681)(4895.35) 0.37946 = 4895.35/T2 - (13.124) 0.37946 + 13.124 = 4895.35/T2 13.5039 = 4895.35/T2 T2 = 4895.35 / 13.5039 T2 = 362.51 answer is 362.51 Kelvin - 273 answer is also 89.5 Celsius</span>
