4. You'll purify your aspirin product via recrystallization before you can weigh it. The Merck Index indicates that at room temperature, 300 mL of water - but only 5 mL of ethanol - will dissolve 1 gram of aspirin. But the water solubility of aspirin increases with temperature. At 37°C, 1 gram will dissolve in 100 mL of water. Note you'll use a MIXTURE of ethanol and water to recrystallize your aspirin product. a) Why is it essential that you NOT allow the ethanol-water recrystallization mixture to reach a boil? b) And why is it important not to use too large a volume of ethanol in your recrystallization?

Materials Needed solid I2 solid CUSO4-5H20 food dye solid (NH4)2SO4 heavy metals waste container halogenated waste container non-halogenated waste container semi-micro test tubes and rack regular test tubes and rack squash pipettes acetone cyclohexane propan-2-ol Method Part A: Solubility of ionic and molecular solids 1. Place a small amount (about the size of 1 grain of rice, see picture) of copper sulfate into each of three DRY semi-micro test tubes. Add 20 drops of water to the first test tube and gently flick the test tube with your finger to ensure mixing. 2. Repeat step 1 using acetone in place of water as the solvent in the second test tube. 3. Repeat step 2 replacing acetone with cyclohexane in the third test tube. Hold the test tubes against a white background to compare the solubility of copper sulfate in the three solvents and record your results. Discard these mixtures into the heavy metals waste container in the fume cupboard. Once these test tubes have been emptied you…
Can you plz help me and thankyou so much!
Please check if the table is correct. Thank you!
Explain how acidification or neutralization can impact the solubility of a compound (for example, compare the solubility of sodium salicylate in water to the solubility of salicylic acid.) How can this be used to purify a mixture using liquid/liquid extraction?
Calculate how many grams of phthalic acid remained in the chilled water (the “mother liquor”) based on the solubility data given (show your work). You will recrystallize phthalic acid, a compound that is used to manufacture synthetic polymers and perfumes. Phthalic acid is very soluble in boiling water, 18 g/100 mL, and is much less soluble in chilled (14°C) water, 0.54 g/100 mL. Thus, water is a very good recrystallization solvent for phthalic acid. 54.8% percent recovery was calculated
Cyclonite, also known as RDX (Research Department Explosive), is used to make Semtex, a plastic explosive, when mixed with PETN. Semtex was used in the bomb that brought down PanAm flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland in 1988 killing 270 people. RDX is typically recrystallized from acetone. 1 gram of RDX is soluble in 100 mL of cold acetone (0 0C) and in 25.0 mL of boiling acetone. A student performed recrystallization starting with using 5.0 mL of acetone. a. What is the maximum amount of crude RDX the student can purify given this volume of acetone in order to maximize the % recovery? b. A student reported 65% recovery from the process of recrystallization after using 5.0 mL of acetone and the mass that can be used with that volume (part a). Is 65% the maximum % recovery of RDX using the volume you calculated in part a? Show your work.

Acetic aid has a "normal" boiling point of 118.1 at 1atm and at ambient room temp. If 0.5 mole of NaCl is added to 800 ml of acetic acid, what will be the new boiling point?
Why is potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP) used to standardize the NaOH solution instead of measuring out a known mass of solid NaOH to be dissolved in water? KHP is an acid and will neutralize some of the NaOH to use later. O There is no reason, NaOH solutions can be used without standardization. O Solid NaOH is hygroscopic and will absorb water, making it virtually impossible to determine a true initial mass and therefore changing the concentration of the solution. Solid NaOH evaporates therefore its concentration can never be known.
