A three-component mixture containing compounds A, B, and C is separated by simple distillation. A fraction from that distillation is collected and analyzed by gas chromatography. The resulting chromatogram is overlaid on a ruler in the figure shown below. Using this figure and the data contained therein, determine the percentage composition of each component in this fraction by the triangulation method (i.e. determine the percentages of A, B, and C in this fraction). Be sure to show the setup for your calculations. 15 AA A 10 5. 10 15 20 25 30 35 (both axes are in mm)

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.

A simple paper chromatography experiment involved the analysis of the food dyes in lollipop samples. A chocolate-flavored lollipop was dissolved using various solvents and was spotted in the chromatogram (E). Four food dye standards (blue, green, red, and orange) were tested alongside the chocolate-flavored lollipop. The mobile phase used for the analysis was 0.1% NaCl. After the analysis, the resulting chromatogram revealed the separation of three colors, which were attributed to the food dyes indigo carmine (blue), tartrazine (yellow), and erythrosine (red). 10 Ruler is in cm unit в с B C D A E A E BEFORE AFTER Calculate the rf for each dye.
