In a 15-cm. evaporating dish is placed 15.4 g. (0.10 mole) of finely powdered biphenyl (Note 1). The dish is set on a porcelain rack in a 30-cm. desiccator with a 10-cm. evaporating dish under the rack containing 39 g. (12 ml., 0.24 mole) of bromine. The desiccator is closed, but a very small opening is provided for the escape of hydrogen bromide (Note 2). The biphenyl is left in contact with the bromine vapor for 8 hours (or overnight). The orange solid is then removed from the desiccator and allowed to stand in the air under a hood for at least 4 hours (Note 3). At this point, the product weighs about 30 g. and has a melting point in the neighborhood of 152°. The crude 4,4'-dibromobiphenyl is dissolved in 75 ml. of benzene, filtered, and cooled to 15°. The resulting crystals are filtered, giving a yield of 23.4– 24.0 g. (75–77%) of 4,4'-dibromobiphenyl, m.p. 162–163° (Note 4). How large of a scale can this reaction be run safely? Is it expensive?

250 mL of water sample was collected from a river and sent to a laboratory to determine the concentration of the total suspended solid. In the laboratory, 5 mL of the water sample was transferred to a 100 mL volumetric flask before diluted with distilled water to 100 mL. After that, 50 mL of the diluted water sample was transferred to a funnel containing a glass fiber filter and attached to a glass flask with the sidearm connected to a operating vacuum pump. Transferred diluted water sample was left drained through the glass filter before glass fiber was transferred to an oven to heat at 105 oC under a constant weight of 0.2654 g was obtained. If the initial weight of the glass fiber filter is 0.2431 g. Calculate the amount of the suspended solid in mg unit contained in the 250 mL collected water sample.
