The column of a fractional distillation apparatus should be aligned vertical to get better separation because the column is essentially longer. It will prevent channeling in the column. Therefore column efficiency will be higher if it is as vertical as possible instead of tilted. Distillation is a process used to separate a mixture of two (or more) components. In a typical fractional distillation, a liquid mixture is heated in the distilling flask and the process begins.

2. In Experiment SOL, you investigated the solubility of oxalic acid. Sodium oxalate, Na2C2O¬4, is the sodium salt of this acid.

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Sodium oxalate is a basic salt. In water it can be dissolved and dissociated.

The oxalic acid in water has two dissociations.

Explanation:

Na2C2O4 ---> 2Na+ + C2O4-2

Sodium oxalate is the conjugate base of a weak acid. In water this salt, dissociates completely giving rise to the sodium and oxalate ions. As Na+ comes from a strong base, in water it does not produce hydrolysis while oxalate does react in water, because it takes a proton from it and it generates a basic hydrolysis releasing OH-.

C2O4-2 + H2O ⇄ HC2O4- + OH-

In water the salt is basic. The pH of an aqueous solution of this salt is basic, since OH- is generated.

The HC2O4- has a second hydrolisis, it takes another proton from water to form oxalic acid.

HC2O4- + H2O ⇄ H2C2O4 + OH-

The oxalic acid acts as a weak acid, it can release 2 protons to water, to make oxalate (its conjugate base).

H2C2O4 + H2O ⇄ H3O+ + HC2O4-

HC2O4- + H2O ⇄ H3O+ C2O4-2

The HC2O4- acts as an ampholyte since it accepts and delivers protons simultaneously.

Question 4 to make a 0.500 m solution, one could take 0.500 moles of solute and add 1.00 l of solvent. enough solvent to make 1.

stealth61 [152]

The answer is enough solvent to make 1.00 L of solution. Since molarity is the number of moles of solute in one liter of solution, adding 0.500 mole solute to one liter solvent might not result to a solution with one liter total volume. Less than one liter solvent is first added to dissolve 0.500 mole solute and then the solution is carefully filled with more solvent until the solution reaches to one liter total volume. Hence, the resulting solution is a 0.500M concentration.
