A pure white crystalline compound was found to melt at 131.5-132.0°C when taken on a melting point apparatus, and on further heating, the liquid was found to start bubbling at ca 155-160 °C. The capillary containing the melted compound was set aside to cool, and resolidify. When the sample was retried using that same capillary, the sample melted at 120.6-154.5°C, along with some bubbling. What is the cause of the bubbles? Why is the melting point so wide the second time? Explain by stating what you have learned in this laboratory about melting points.

Upon running a standard recrystallization in 90:10 EtOH:water you reach a point where crystals are not forming! You get very nervous as everyone else is getting excellent crystal formation. Which of the following would be an appropriate response? O Gently scratch the glass vessel with a glass stir rod to induce crystallization. Add additional solvent to the vessel. Additional solvent will help reduce the solubility of the solid. Stir the liquid on a stir plate with a stir bar to induce crystallization. O Dump the material in the waste, there isn't any hope at this point.
TRUE OR FALSE, if false then give the correct word to make the statement true then explain 1. Sublimation occurs when a solid has a relatively high vapor pressure at a temperature [above] its melting point. 2. To isolate the desired chemical, a single extraction is [more efficient] than extracting the compound numerous times. 3. The compounds are separated in liquid-liquid extraction based on their relative solubilities in two [immiscible] liquids.
The chemical method of analysis in determination of the blood alcohol content (%BAC) is: K2Cr2O7 + H2SO4 + C2H5OH → Cr2(SO4)3 + K2SO4 + CH3COOH + H2O What are the stoichiometric coefficients for the reaction above? (please enter the coefficients without spaces and with a coma between the numbers, e.g. 1,2,3,4) 2,8,3,2,2,3,11 During a Breathalyzer Test it was determined that 1.75mg of K2Cr2O7 was consumed by the above reaction. Calculate the number of milligrams of ethanol in the test sample. 0.411 Calculate the Blood Alcohol Content in this sample (%BAC).

A student has a mixture of two possible compounds. The student performs an extraction to separate the two compounds. The student decides to identify the separated compounds by melting point. The student's isolated compound has a melting range of 160-163 °C using a ramp rate of 10 °C/min. The student's partner believes that they have isolated compound 2, while the student thinks they have compound 1. Choose the best answer to go with this scenario. Compound 1 Literature Melting point: 113 °C Compound 2 Literature Melting point: 155 °C. O The students have neither of the two compounds. O The ramp rate is too high so the experimental melting range is not accurate. O The students likely have compound 2, but should do a mixed melting range experiment with a standard of compound 2 to be certain. O The students likely have compound 1, but should do a mixed melting range experiment with a standard of compound 1 to be certain. It is correct that they definitely have compound 1. O It is correct…

The melting point (mp) range of reference compound A is 320-340°C. The mp range of a 1:1 mixture of a sample of A with a sample of unknown compound B is found to be 140-300°C. Do the samples consist of identical compounds? A)Yes, because the mp of the mixture is lower than the mp of pure A. B) Not enough information is given to answer the question C) Yes, because they melt over a broad range. D) No, because the mp of the mixture is lower than the melting point of pure A.
When performing a recrystallization of an impure solid, why is it important to allow the heated solution to cool slowly? Group of answer choices For the molecules of the pure solid to arrange in organized crystal lattices. To encourage solubility. To avoid the need for ice. To trap particles in the crystal lattice.
6.0 mL of cyclohexanol, 8 mL of 85% phosphoric acid, and 10 drops of sulfuric acid are added to a 50-mL round-bottom flask with boiling chips, and the mixture is distilled into an ice-cooled receiver. The distillate is in the form of a colorless bi-phasic mixture. The cyclohexene upper layer is removed from the water layer, and dried over anhydrous calcium chloride. Isolated is cyclohexene as a clear and colorless foul-smelling liquid. Weighing data is given below. Gross mass: 51.24 g Tare mass: 48.04 g Product mass: 3.2g Question: Calculate the theoretical mass of the cyclohexene product, bearing in mind that the cyclohexanol starting material was measured by volume, not by mass (so you must use the density of cyclohexanol to convert milliliters to grams, before calculating the number of moles). Calculate the percent yield of cyclohexene obtained.
