If we wanted to improve our set-up, we could have added a desiccant between two cotton plugs. Why is this much better than adding drying agents such as Na2SO4directly into the solution?

Micelles and Biological Membrane

Micelles are the type of lipid molecules that organize themselves in spherical shape in aqueous solutions. The production of the micelle is a reply to the amphipathic behavior of fatty acids. It means that they consist of both hydrophobic regions and hydrophilic regions. In micelles, polar head groups (hydrophilic groups) produce an outer layer associated with water whereas nonpolar tails (hydrophobic groups) are organized in the interior.

A student is given a sample of a pink manganese (II) chloride hydrate. She weighs the sample in a dry, covered crucible and obtains a mass of 26.742g for the crucible, cover, and sample. Earlier she had found that the crucible and cover weighed 23.599g. She then heats the crucible to drive off the water of hydration, keeping the crucible at red heat for about 10 minutes with the cover slightly ajar. She then lets the crucible cool and finds it has a lower mass; the crucible, cover and contents then weigh 25.598g. In the process the sample was converted to off-white anhydrous MnCl2. a. What was the mass of the hydrate sample? _ghydrate b. What is the mass of the anhydrous MnCl2? _gMnCl2 c. How much water was driven off? _gH2O d. What is the percent by mass of water in the hydrate? water=massofwaterinsamplemassofhydrateinsample100 _massH2O e. How many grams of water would there be in 100.0g hydrate? How many moles? _gH2O; _molesH2O f. How many grams of MnCl2 are there in 100.0g hydrate? How many moles? What percentage of the hydrate is MnCl2? Convert the mass of MnCl2 to moles.

Weigh out accurately 9.99 g of copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate (CuSO4·5H2O) by taring using a clean and dry empty 250-ml beaker. 2. Add tap water to the beaker to reach the 50-mL mark on the side of the beaker. 3. Dissolve all the crystals of CuSO4·5H2O in the water using a clean glass rod for stirring. 4. Then using a glass funnel transfer all the blue solution to a 100-mL volumetric flask. Rinse the beaker with about 10 mL of water and transfer the solution to the volumetric flask. Repeat the rinsing of the beaker with another 10 mL of water and transfer the solution to the volumetric flask. This is called quantitative transfer of the solution. 5. Then add enough water to reach the calibration mark of the volumetric flask. (You will need to use a dropper to add the last few drops of water to ensure the meniscus is on the calibration mark). Close the volumetric flask with a stopper and mix the solution well (so that it is homogeneous). 6. You have now prepared a standard solution (or…
