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 true if a liquid and a gas are in equilibruim
o-na [289]

Answer:

We can see that at the boiling point, both liquid and gas are in equilibrium with one another. This is true for any applied pressure and boiling point temperature combination. As a result, we see liquid-gas equilibrium for every temperature and pressure combination on the graph in Figure 13.6.

Convert to moles 3.45 g Na
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer: .150 moles of Ana

Explanation:

You just multiply 3.45 g of Na times the number of mole so in this case 1 mole divided by the grams it takes to make that mole. Which can be found on your periodic table it is the number right under the symbol of the element.

How are elements<br> and compounds<br> different?
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

Elements only contain one type of atoms while compounds contain two or more types of atoms.

Explanation:

An example of an element is sodium --> Na (only Na atoms)

An example of a compound can be water --> H2O (contain H and O atoms)

*But the particles within a compound are all the same.
