Chapter 5, Problem 7Q

In fractional distillation, liquid can be seen running from the bottom of the distillation column back into the distilling flask. What effect does this returning condensate have on the fractional distillation?

A 10.00 mL sample of ethanol is added to 250.0 mL of water in order to observe the freezing point depression of the water. Consider the possible errors in this experiment, and determine whether each would cause the freezing point of the water to increase, decrease, or remain the same compared with the expected results. It is discovered that the 10.00 g ethanol sample is actually 95% ethanol and 5% water.   The ethanol sample is left out for several minutes before being added to the water, allowing a significant amount to evaporate.   Instead of starting the experiment with room temperature water, the experiment is started with cold water.   Some of the water is splashed out of the container before the ethanol is added.   Some of the ethanol and water solution is spilled out of the container during temperature measurement.
1. Which is more efficient for separating the components of a liquid mixture of a liquid mixture, simple or fractional distillation? Why? 2. Explain (in 1 – 3 sentences) how distillation works in separating simple mixtures.
A chemistry student adds a quantity of an unknown solid compound X to 550. mL of distilled water at 30.° C. After 10 minutes of stirring, all of the Xhas dissolved. The student then drains off the solution and evaporates the water under vacuum. A precipitate is left behind. The student washes, dries and weighs the precipitate. It weighs 19.3 g. O yes Using only the information above, can you calculate the solubility of X in water at 30.° C? O no If you said yes, calculate it. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol and the right number of significant digits.
