A scientist wishes to measure the concentration of methyl benzoate in a plant stream by gas chromatography. He prepares a sample of butyl benzoate to use as an internal standard. The results of a preliminary run, which used a solution known to contain 1.37 mg/mL of methyl benzoate (peak A) and 1.51 mg/mL of butyl benzoate (peak B), are shown. The area of peak A is determined to be 301 and the area of peak B is determined to be 349 measured in arbitrary units by the computer. To measure the sample, 1.00 mL of a standard sample of butyl benzoate containing 2.41 mg/mL is mixed with 1.00 mL of the plant stream material. Analysis of the mixture gave a 10 Time (min) 15 peak area of 499 for peak A and 417 for peak B. What is the concentration of methyl benzoate in the plant stream? methyl benzoate concentration: mg/mL Detector Response

© Macmillan Learning Five standard solutions of a newly discovered inorganic salt were used to create a calibration curve. The density (g/mL) of each solution was plotted on the y-axis versus the % (w/v) concentration on the x-axis. The calibration curve was linear and fitted with the following best-fit line. y = 1.17x + 0.188 A student is asked to analyze a solution of this salt with a density of 4.00 g/mL. What is the concentration, in %(w/v), of the unknown salt solution? concentration: % (w/v)
Is the chart correct?
SELECT correct responses only 1) Volume percent (v/v%) is temperature-independent. 2) There are three major approaches to expressing solution concentration in terms of percent concentration: weight percent, volume percent, and weight/volume percent. 3) Weight/volume percent (w/v%) is a unit-less quantity. 4) The term 'percent' refers to 'parts per thousand'. 5)A standard solution is a reagent of known concentration that is used to carry out a volumetric titration. 6) The endpoint of a titration is the theoretical point reached when the amount of added titrant is chemically equivalent to the amount of analyte in a sample. 7) A substance that changes color in response to chemical equivalence is known as an indicator. 8) Given a sufficiently diligent and experienced experimenter, it is sometimes possible to reach a titration volume error value of 0.
Please answer all 5 questions (it could be short answers). 5-1. What is the main barrier to separating liquid mixtures of less than 500 mL by distillation? 5-2. A sample mixture of ethyl benzoate (bp 212 Celsius) and dodecane (bp 216.2 Celsius) is injected on two GC columns. Column A has DC710 silicone oil as the stationary phase, and column B uses polyethylene glycol as the stationary phase. Which substance would be certain to elute first from column A and would the same material be expected to elute first from column B? Which column, A or B, would be expected to give the better separation of these two substances? 5-3. Question 5-2 refers to separating a mixture of two high boiling liquids by gas chromatography. These materials have similar boiling points. List several GC variables and conditions that would make it easier to separate thesesubstances by gas chromatography 5-4. Capillary GC columns have better resolution than packed columns even though the enormous surface area…
5.35g of salicylic acid added to 7.75mL of methanol followed by 10 drops of sulfuric acid,H2SO4 and the resulting mixture was refluxed for 30 min. If 3.85mL of methyl salicylate were distilled from the mixture. What's the percent yield? Answer to 1 decimal place
DAY 1 Preparation of Aspirin Using tap water, set up a boiling water bath in a 400ml beaker. Residual solubility. The solubility of acetylsalicylic acid is 0.25 g per 100 ml of water. Keep track of how much DI water is added to the aspirin during filtration and recrystallization. Mix the starting materials and heat. Using the electronic balance, weigh about 2 g (± 0.01 g) of salicylic acid (caution: this is a skin irritant) in a 125 – ml Erlenmeyer flask. Cover the crystals with 4 – 5 ml of acetic anhydride. (caution: acetic anhydride is a severe eye irritant --- avoid skin and eye contact). Swirl this reaction flask to wet the salicylic acid crystals. Add 5 drops of conc H2SO4 to the mixture and gently heat the reaction flask in a hot water bath (60-70oC) for 5 – 10 minutes. (caution: H2SO4 causes severe skin burns). Set up an ice water bath in a 250ml beaker. Cool to crystallize the aspirin. Remove the reaction flask from the hot water bath and add 10 ml of deionized ice…
You are attempting to purify a compound via recrystallization. You prepare the process through the following method: 1) Dissolve the material in a minimal amount of hot EtOH. 2) Slowly add hot water until the compound is slightly cloudy. 3) Add a small amount of EtOH until the solution is just clear (still hot). 4) Cool to RT. Upon cooling to RT you notice that the compound is not precipitating out of solution. You decide to boil off some ethanol. Upon completing this step and cooling to RT you notice that the compound is precipitating out as desired! In which solvent is your compound the least soluble? Ethanol O Water O The ethanol water mixture Insoluble in all of these solvents
Blank determinations reveal errors due to interfering contaminants from the reaagents and vessels employed in the analysis.
