Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The observation that occurs when 50 mL of 1-bromobutane (density = 1.27 g/mL) is added to the 100 mL of water should be stated.
Concept Introduction:
Density is defined as the mass per unit volume. It is expressed in g/mL. The compound having low density than water floats on the water and the compound with high density than water sinks in it.
(b)
Interpretation:
The observation that occurs when 50 mL of ethanol (density = 0.79 g/mL) is added to the 100 mL of water should be stated.
Concept Introduction:
Density is defined as the mass per unit volume. It is expressed in g/mL. The compound having low density than water floats on the water and the compound with high density than water sinks in it.
(c)
Interpretation:
The observation that occurs when 50 mL of 1-decanol (density = 0.83 g/mL) is added to the 100 mL of water should be stated.
Concept Introduction:
Density is defined as the mass per unit volume. It is expressed in g/mL. The compound having low density than water floats on the water and the compound with high density than water sinks in it.

- You are asked to compound one-hundred 2.5 mL syringes of 2.5% testosterone cream. What quantity of 10% testosterone cream is required to fill this prescription?arrow_forwardHelp!arrow_forward1-butanol yields 1-bromobutane in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid and an excess of sodium bromide. CH3CH2CH,CH2OH (I) → CH3 CH2CH2CH2Br (1) If 13.55 mL of 1-butanol produced 13.23 g of 1-bromobutane, the percentage yield of the product equals: (Assume the density of 1-butanol is 0.81 g/mL, the molar mass of 1-butanol is 74 g/mol, and the molar mass of 1-bromobutane is 137 g/mol.) %arrow_forward
- 2) Complete the reaction: NO. LOH FECLTarrow_forward(d) A sample contains a mixture of ammonium carbonate (NH4)2CO3, sodium carbonate Na2CO3, and sodium chloride NaCl. Thermogravimetric analysis indicates that a 0.0965-g portion of this sample loses 0.0574 g over a temperature range of 50-75 oC and then loses another 0.0124 g at 800 oC.(i) What causes the weight loss at 50-75 oC? (ii) What species will remain after being heated to 800 oC? (iii) What is the composition of the original sample? Given: Atomic masses: H = 1.008; C = 12.011; N = 14.007; Na = 22.99; O = 15.999;Cl = 35.45.arrow_forward2arrow_forward

- Methane, CH4 (boiling point -1610C) and water, H2O have about the same molecular weight. Which has the higher vapor pressure at room temperature? Explain.arrow_forwardA chemist working as a safety inspector finds an unmarked bottle in a lab cabinet. A note on the door of the cabinet says the cabinet is used to store bottles of chloroform, diethylamine, ethanolamine, acetone, and pentane. The chemist plans to try to identify the unknown liquid by measuring the density and comparing to known densities. First, from his collection of Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), the chemist finds the following information:arrow_forwardYou need to purify 0.8 grams of an impure sample of trans-cinnamic acid. After the purification is completed you isolate 0.57 grams of trans-cinnamic acid and record a melting point range of 129-132 °C. Cinnamic Acid has a solubility in ethanol of 13.9 g/100 ml at 10 °C and a solubility in water of 0.055 g/100 ml at 25 °C. (a) Explain why the recrystallization of trans-cinnamic acid must use a mixed solvent system. Please explain why the sample couldn't be successful recrystallized in ethanol alone. Calculations should be used to support your answer. (b) Calculate the % recovery and the % error for the melting point.arrow_forward
