Imagine you are an organic chemistry student who isolates a crude sample of salicylic acid following the Unit 2 experiment, and then you recrystallize that sample in an attempt to purify it. After a week of drying in the hood, you analyze the recrystallized product by melting point to determine purity. You divide the recrystallized product into two MP capillary tubes. You analyze Sample 1 first and then dispose of the tube and sample. After the MP apparatus has cooled, you then analyze Sample 2. You record the following data in your lab notebook: The reported literature value for pure salicylic acid is 159 °C. Sample 1 start - 157.5 °C Sample 1 end - 160.5 °C Sample 2 start - 157.3 °C Sample 2 end - 158.8 °C Using all these data, draw a conclusion about the purity of your sample (i.e., "it is pure" or "it is not pure") and explain or support your conclusion. Also provide any hypotheses you have regarding all of these data. Avoid phraseology/words such as "I feel." or "I believe." "probably" "perhaps" "possibly" or "maybe", and use "I think." or "it is hypothesized" instead. You must discuss all data in a congruent fashion.

You have an aqueous solution of pyridinium chloride (C6H5N'HCI) and you want to extract it with a second solvent where it would be more soluble. Which of the following should you do to accomplish the said task? Mix 3M NaOH, acetone, and the aqueous layer in a separatory funnel, shake, release build-up pressure, return to A stand, and let the mixture separate into two layers. Mix methanol and the aqueous layer in a separatory funnel, shake, release build-up pressure, return to stand, and let the mixture separate into two layers. Mix 3M NaOH, toluene, and the aqueous layer in a separatory funnel, shake, release build-up pressure, return to stand, and let the mixture separate into two layers. Mix dichloromethane and the aqueous layer in a separatory funnel, shake, release build-up pressure, return to stand, D and let the mixture separate into two layers.
A 532 mg of a mixture of fluorene and benzoic acid was weighed out and subjected to an extraction and recrystallization. After this purification was completed the product crystals were dried and analyzed. The purification procedure produced 174 mg of fluorene and 249 mg of benzoic acid. Calculate the percent composition of this mixture.
Please answer all 5 questions (it could be short answers). 5-1. What is the main barrier to separating liquid mixtures of less than 500 mL by distillation? 5-2. A sample mixture of ethyl benzoate (bp 212 Celsius) and dodecane (bp 216.2 Celsius) is injected on two GC columns. Column A has DC710 silicone oil as the stationary phase, and column B uses polyethylene glycol as the stationary phase. Which substance would be certain to elute first from column A and would the same material be expected to elute first from column B? Which column, A or B, would be expected to give the better separation of these two substances? 5-3. Question 5-2 refers to separating a mixture of two high boiling liquids by gas chromatography. These materials have similar boiling points. List several GC variables and conditions that would make it easier to separate thesesubstances by gas chromatography 5-4. Capillary GC columns have better resolution than packed columns even though the enormous surface area…
6.0 mL of cyclohexanol, 8 mL of 85% phosphoric acid, and 10 drops of sulfuric acid are added to a 50-mL round-bottom flask with boiling chips, and the mixture is distilled into an ice-cooled receiver. The distillate is in the form of a colorless bi-phasic mixture. The cyclohexene upper layer is removed from the water layer, and dried over anhydrous calcium chloride. Isolated is cyclohexene as a clear and colorless foul-smelling liquid. Weighing data is given below. Gross mass: 51.24 g Tare mass: 48.04 g Product mass: 3.2g Question: Calculate the theoretical mass of the cyclohexene product, bearing in mind that the cyclohexanol starting material was measured by volume, not by mass (so you must use the density of cyclohexanol to convert milliliters to grams, before calculating the number of moles). Calculate the percent yield of cyclohexene obtained.
