How will you separate a solution of benzene and chloroform?
1 answer:
Answer:
Explanation:
- State of benzene at RTP = liquid
- State of chloroform at RTP = liquid
- Boiling point of benzene = 80.1 °C
- Boiling point of chloroform = 61.2 °C
Since, both of the chemicals are liquids, we can separate it by the process of distillation.
<u>Distillation:</u>
- is the process in which we separate two liquids on the basis of their difference in boiling points.
<u>How it works:</u>
Since chloroform has less boiling point, it will evaporate and collected first and benzene will follow it after sometime.
- Apparatus of distillation is in the attached file.

Explanation:
- When an aqueous solution of a certain acid is prepared it is dissociated is as follows-
⇄
Here HA is a protonic acid such as acetic acid,
- The double arrow signifies that it is an equilibrium process, which means the dissociation and recombination of the acid occur simultaneously.
- The acid dissociation constant can be given by -
=
- The reaction is can also be represented by Bronsted and lowry -
⇄
- Then the dissociation constant will be
=
Here, is the dissociation constant of an acid.
