You are given an impure sample of fluorene. Your crystallization solvent choices are water, methyl alcohol and toluene. Using your understanding of polarity and solubility, predict which solvent would be the best choice for crystallization. Briefly explain your answer choice and why the other two choices were eliminated.

Predict what will be observed in each experiment below. experiment Two 250 mL samples of water are drawn from a deep well bored into a large underground salt (NaCl) deposit. Sample #1 is from the top of the well, and is initially at 42 °C. Sample #2 is from a depth of 150 m, and is initially at 8 °C. Both samples are allowed to come to room temperature (20 °C) and 1 atm pressure. An NaCl precipitate is seen to form in Sample #1. predicted observation (choose one) A bigger mass of NaCl precipitate will form in Sample #2. A smaller mass of NaCl precipitate will form in Sample #2. The same mass of NaCl precipitate will form in Sample #2. No precipitate will form in Sample #2. O I need more information to predict whether and how much precipitate will form in Sample #2. A student has two unopened 33 cL cans containing carbonated water. Can A has been stored in the garage (32 °C) and can B has been stored in the fridge (8 °C). The student opens one can at the time, both cans make a fizz. O…

Answer with 2 decimal places.
What is the functional group of propanoic acid? How do we know if it's soluble in water or not using the flowchart that is attached. which test should be performed using the flowchart. Is propanoic acid a ketone, aldehyde, ester or alcohol and how did you know?what would be the most efficient series of solubility and functional group tests that would identify the functional group? Also what could be the sources of error in this experiment? What could occur that would give false positives, false negatives, or incorrect interpretations?

A mixture of ethanol, benzaldehyde and KMnO4 is mixed together. Would you expect a precipitate to form based on the reactants functional groups?
I am completing my lab assignment called synthesis of an alcohol by hydrating an alkene. Get two small test tubes. Place 1 mL of bromine water into each of the two test tubes.Add about three drops of the product and hex-1-eneinto each of the two test tubes. Swirl the contents of the tubes. Record you observations. My observations were: cyclohexene turned clear, the cyclohexanol turned yellow. Based on these reults, was I able to synthesize the of hexan-2-ol from the hydration of hex-1-ene?
