One student, when conducting this experiment, overlooked instruction #4 in Part B that stated "Repeat steps 2 and 3 above two more times with fresh 2-mL portions of sodium picarbonate solution." Upon conducting TLC analysis, this student found that the final solated biphenyl was contaminated with some 2-chlorobenzoic acid. Explain, on a molecular level, how and why this student's error in part B led to a poor separation. Be pecific.

Can you help me with question one. I don’t understand how to do it at all. Please explain each step!
Vanillin is being reduced to vanillyl alcohol. The chemicals involved in this reaction are: vanillin, vanillyl alcohol, sodium borohydride, sodium hydroxide, and hydrochloric acid. What physical properties should I have handy during this reaction, and why? (TLC, recrystallization will also be done)
Calculate the theoretical yield (in grams) of (E, E)-1,4-diphenyl-1,3-butadiene from 10.00 mmoles trans-cinnamaldehyde and 3.90 grams benzyltriphenylphosponium chloride. Enter your answer as a number without any units.
17) After the reaction, Gwen sees a solid appear. She should collect this solid by rotary evaporator vacuum filtration TLC gravity filtration 18) After completing the separation and purification, Gwen checks the purity of her isolated mandelic acid on a polarimeter. She takes 0.525 g of solid and dissolves it in 5 mL of acetone. She puts this in a tube with a pathlength of 1 dm. The polarimeter gives a reading of +13.0011 deg. The reported optical activity of mandelic acid is [a]lit = 151 deg What is the EE for this sample?
SEE PHOTO: Effectiveness of separation. Based on the TLC analysis, did the isolated benzoic acidappear pure relative to the starting mixture? Did the isolated naphthalene look pure?How could the purity of the isolated materials be improved?
2. Complete the chart below. You will need to look up Molecular Weights (MW), melting points (MP), boiling points (BP) and density. Keep in mind that liquids and solutions do not always have reported melting points (MP) or boiling points (BP). You do not need to find amounts, mmol or molar equivalence of 9-fluorenone. If the compound is a solid the boiling point (BP) and density (d) are often not reported. Molar equivalence is defined as the ratio of the moles of compound to the moles of the limiting reagent. MW MP Density Molar Compound Amount mmol BP (°C) (g/mol) °C) (g/mL) Equivalence 9-Fluorenol 100 mg 6 ml Acetone 0.25 ml Glacial Acetic Acid 1.093 NaOCI 2 ml (5% wt/wt in H,0) 9-fluorenone 3. Calculate the theoretical yield for reaction based on the chart above and the reaction scheme at the top of this assignment.
