Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The mass of water that would be released when Epsom salt is completely dehydrated is to be calculated and the product is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The water molecules attached to the crystal are known as the water of crystallization. The water of crystallization removes when a crystal is exposed to heat or high temperature leaving behind anhydrous form of crystal.
(b)
Interpretation:
The mass of water that would be released when borax is completely dehydrated is to be calculated and the product is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The water molecules attached to the crystal are known as the water of crystallization. The water of crystallization remove when a crystal is exposed to heat or high temperature leaving behind anhydrous form of crystal.

- A mixture of C7H12O2, C9H9OCl, biphenyl and acetone was put together in a gas chromatography tube. Please decide from the GC resutls which correspond to the peak for C7,C9 and biphenyl and explain the reasoning based on GC results.
