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.

If the ionization constant of water, kw, at 40°c is 2.92 × 10-14, then what is the hydronium ion concentration and ph for an aci
charle [14.2K]

Answer is: the hydronium ion concentratio is 1.71×10⁻⁷ mol/dm³ and pH<6.76.

The Kw (the ionization constant of water) at 40°C is 2.94×10⁻¹⁴ mol²/dm⁶ or 2.94×10⁻¹⁴ M².

Kw = [H₃O⁺] · [OH⁻].

[H₃O⁺] = [OH⁻] = x.

Kw = x².

x = √Kw.

x = √2.94×10⁻¹⁴ M².

x = [H₃O⁺] = 1.71×10⁻⁷ M; concentration of hydronium ion.

pH = -log[H₃O⁺].

pH = -log(1.71×10⁻⁷ M).

pH = 6.76.

pH (potential of hydrogen) is a numeric scale used to specify the acidity or basicity an aqueous solution.

How many grams of calcium chloride are dissolved in 5.65 liters of a 0.11 m solution of calcium choride?
Julli [10]
C = 0.11 mol
V = 5.65 L
n = ???

n = C*V
n = 0.11 * 5.65
n = 0.622 mols

1 mol of CaCl2 = 40 + 2*35.5 = 111 grams
0.622 mol = x

x = 111 * 0.622
x = 69.0 grams CaCl2
