A student was performing a separation of a mixture of organic compounds. The final step of the process involved a filtration of

the analyte from an aqueous solution. After drying the filtered solid for a very short period time, they took the melting point of the compound. The measured melting point range of the compound was 106 – 113.8 0C, while the literature melting point of the compound was 122.3 0C. The above scenario is a very common one in organic labs.
1. Do you think their sample was pure?
2. If not, then what do you think could be the source of error.
3. How do you think this error can be minimized?

Answer:

1) No

2) The solvent contaminated the analyte

3) The solvent should be evaporated properly before washing and drying the analyte

Explanation:

During separation of organic compounds, solvents are used. These solvents are able to contaminate the analyte and lead to a large difference in melting point of solids obtained.

However, the error can be minimized by evaporating the solvent before washing, drying and melting point determination of the solid.

What is the mass of 1.2 x 1023 atoms of arsenic?
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

14.93 g

Explanation:

First we <u>convert 1.2 x 10²³ atoms of arsenic (As) into moles</u>, using <em>Avogadro's number</em>:

  • 1.2 x 10²³ atoms ÷ 6.023x10²³ atoms/mol = 0.199 mol As

Then we can<u> calculate the mass of 0.199 moles of arsenic</u>, using its<em> molar mass</em>:

  • 0.199 mol * 74.92 g/mol = 14.93 g

Thus, 1.2x10²³ atoms of arsenic weigh 14.93 grams.

How many moles of sodium cyanide (NaCN) would be needed to produce 4.2 moles of sodium sulfate (Na2SO4)? H2SO4 + 2NaCN → 2HCN +
leonid [27]
The purpose of a chemical equation is to relate the amounts of reactants to the amounts of products based on the rate each is consumed. In this problem, one mole of sulfuric acid is consumed along with two moles of sodium cyanide to produce two moles of hydrocyanic acid and one mole of sodium sulfate. The relationship between sodium cyanide and sodium sulfate is 2:1, meaning that two moles of NaCN is required to produce one mole of sodium sulfate.

To produce 4.2 moles of sodium sulfate, two times this amount of NaCN is required. This means that you would need 8.4 moles of sodium cyanide.

Hope this helps!

Sergio039 [100]

a. the ratio of mass to charge of an electron

Explanation:

The experiment permitted the direct measurement of the ratio of mass to charge of an electron.

  • The charge to mass ratio of an electron was determine by accelerating a beam of cathode rays in magnetic and electric fields.
  • No matter the gas used in the tube or the nature of the material of the electrodes, the rays were found to have constant charge to mass ratio of 1.76 x 10¹¹coulombkg⁻¹.

A 19-g piece of metal absorbs 186.75 joules of heat energy, and its temperature changes from 35°C to 175°C. Calculate the specif
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

0.0702J/g°C the specific heat capacity of the metal.

Explanation:m

Q=m\times c\times \Delta T=m\times c\times (T_{2}-T_{1})

where,

Q = heat absorbed by metal = 186.75 J

m_1 = Mass of metal= 19 g

T_1 = Initial  temperature of metal = 35^oC

T_2 =Final  temperature of metal = 175^oC

c = specific heat of metal= ?

186.75 J=19 g\times c\times (175^oC-35^oC)

c=\frac{186.75 J}{19 g\times (175^oC-35^oC)}

c=0.0702J/g^oC

0.0702J/g°C the specific heat capacity of the metal.
