3. Take another 10mL of the temporary hard water and boil for 5 minutes. Filter, then add 5 mL of soap solution to the filtrate and shake. What is the result? Is the water hard? Why is this type of harness called "temporary hardness"? What other substances cause temporary hardness? Write the equation for removal of temporary hardness by heating. Give 3 other methods of removing temporary hardness in water.
When extracting an aqueous solution with an organic solvent and after agitation and settling, the two layers are of very similar appearance. You know that the organic layer contains your product and the aqueous layer is the waste layer, but you are not 100% certain which layer is which. What simple test might you perform to determine which is the organic layer?
In a test tube, dissolve 10 drops of methanol in 3 ml. of water. Oxidize a copper wire spiral by passing it through a Bunsen burner. Plunge the red-hot wire into the alcohol solution several times, cooling the solution under the tap (faucet) so as not to evaporate too much of it. Next, add 1 drop of 0.5% resorcinol solution. Measure 2 ml. of concentrated sulfuric acid (CAUTION!) and pour this carefully down the sides of the test tube containing the mixture. Note the color of the zone intermediate between the acid and the solution. RESULT:
An enzymatic method for determining alcohol in the wine is evaluated by comparison with a gas-chromatography (GC) method. The same sample is analyzed several times by both methods with the following results (% ethanol). The values of alcohol for both enzymatic and GC methods are shown in Table 1. Using a suitable test, determine whether the enzymatic method gives the same value as the GC method at 95% confidence level.

What are the important solubility characteristics for a solvent for crystallization of an organic solid that is contaminated with a small amount of impurity?
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
