Question
Chapter 5, Problem 11Q
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for the initial formation of cloudy drops of distillate in the distillation of cyclohexane-toluene mixture should be determined.
Concept introduction:
The process to separate the component from a liquid mixture by boiling of selective liquid followed by condensation of the mixture is called distillation. The distillation depends upon the boiling point difference of the components. The distillation is used in various industries to get the pure component.

Describe the process (Step by Step) of the fractional distillation of 4-t-butylcyclohexanol and 4-t-butylcyclohexene
the eugenol and water distillate you collect is apt to be cloudy, particularly the first part of this distillate. Explain why.
Azeotropic mixtures mix with each other in all proportions, since the composition of the liquid and vapor phases is the same. Ethyl alcohol and water in a liquid state are also an azeotropic mixture. Why?

- Cis-3-hexene and trans-3-hexene can be separated using GC. Explain why these two compounds can be separated by GC and not by fractional distillation.arrow_forwardYour employer hands you a heterogeneous mixture and asks you to isolate all of thehexane that you can from it. After some analysis, you determine that the mixture contains toluene, hexane,benzoic acid, water, sodium chloride, and sand. Explain how you would isolate pure hexane from thismixture. Remember that you can use techniques such as filtration, extractions, and acid/base chemistrythat we learned earlier in this course in addition to distillation. You may need to look up solubilities and/orboiling points online to solve this problem. You only need to isolate the hexane?arrow_forwardThe triiodomethane (iodoform) reaction can be used to identify the presence of secondary alcohols. Iodine solution is added to a small amount of an alcohol, followed by just enough sodium hydroxide solution to remove the color of the iodine. If nothing happens in the cold, it may be necessary to warm the mixture very gently. A positive result is the appearance of a very pale yellow precipitate of triiodomethane (previously known as iodoform): CHI3, which apart from its color, can also be recognized by its faintly "medical" smell. It is used as an antiseptic on the sort of sticky plasters you put on minor cuts. **Explain the mechanism of iodoform reaction in an assumption that the iodine/sodium hydroxide solution was used for the reaction. Provide a figure or schematic diagram for the complete detailed flow of reaction.arrow_forward

You are asked to prepare a procedure for the extraction of methylphenidate, the active compound in Ritalin, from urine samples (consider them as simple aqueous layers, you do not need to consider other components!). The goal of the procedure is to extract the methylphenidate into an organic layer which will then be evaporated, and the residue will be tested for the drug.Your colleague is helping you develop the urine test. They suggest that the urine should be adjusted to a pH above 7 before extracting with the organic solvent. Why is this necessary? Support your explanation with a full arrow-pushing mechanism for the reaction that would occur if the pH was below 7.
