Chapter 7.6, Problem 7.55QAP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To find the molecular formulas of vanilic acid.

Concept Introduction:

Molecular formula is found by multiplying a whole number to the empirical formula. The whole number is found by dividing the molar mass with the empirical formula mass.

To find the empirical formula we first convert the given mass % of each element to grams, and then divide the mass in grams of each element with its respective atomic mass to get moles of each element. The mole of each element is divided by the smallest value of mole. The mole ratio thus obtained is rounded off to the nearest whole number to obtain the simplest ratio. The simplest ratio of each element in the compound gives the empirical formula of the compound.

In addition to the separation techniques used in this lab (magnetism, evaporation, and filtering), there are other commonly used separation techniques. Some of these techniques are:Distillation – this process is used to separate components that have significantly different boiling points. The solution is heated and the lower boiling point substance is vaporized first. The vapor can be collected and condensed and the component recovered as a pure liquid. If the temperature of the mixture is then raised, the next higher boiling component will come off and be collected. Eventually only non-volatile components will be left in the original solution.Centrifugation – a centrifuge will separate mixtures based on their mass. The mixture is placed in a centrifuge tube which is then spun at a high speed. Heavier components will settle at the bottom of the tube while lighter components will be at the top. This is the technique used to separate red blood cells from blood plasma.Sieving – this is…
