After recrystallization, the final weight of biphenyl is found to be 0.02 g. Assume that all steps were carried out correctly, n

o spillages occurred, and the student lost minimal solid on the glassware or in transfers. Why is the recovery so low?

Explanation:

From the source, The student recrystallized biphenyl by using benzene. Biphenyl is non polar and so is benzene. Biphenyl is very soluble in benzene at low as well as high temperature. Thus, it do not recrystallize as like dissolves like and gives a very poor yield.

The good recovery of the product is dependent on compound having high solubility at the high temperatures and having low solubility at the low temperatures.

What volume in<br><br> L<br><br> of a 0.724 M Nal solution contains 0.405 mol of Nal ?
Amanda [17]

Answer:

0.5594\ \text{L}

Explanation:

Mol of NaI = 0.405 mol

Molarity of solution = 0.724 M

Molarity is given by

M=\dfrac{\text{mol}}{\text{Volume of solution in }NaI}\\\Rightarrow \text{Volume of solution in }NaI=\dfrac{0.405}{0.724}\\\Rightarrow \text{Volume of solution in }NaI=0.5594\ \text{L}

The required volume is 0.5594\ \text{L}.

6. From the values of ΔH and ΔS, predict which of the following reactions would be spontaneous at 25ºC: Reaction A: ΔH = 10.5 kJ
qwelly [4]

Answer:

Both reaction A and reaction B are non spontaneous.

Explanation:

For a spontaneous reaction, change in gibbs free energy (\Delta G) should be negative.

We know, \Delta G=\Delta H-T\Delta S, where T is temperature in Kelvin scale.

Reaction A: \Delta G=(10.5\times 10^{3})-(298\times 30)J/mol=1560J/mol

As \Delta G is positive therefore the reaction is non-spontaneous.

If at a temperature T K , the reaction is spontaneous then-

\Delta H-T\Delta S< 0

or, T> \frac{\Delta H}{\Delta S}

or, T> \frac{10.5\times 10^{3}}{30}

or, T> 350

So at a temperature greater than 350 K, the reaction is spontaneous.

Reaction B: \Delta G=(1.8\times 10^{3})-(-113\times 298)J/mol=35474J/mol

As \Delta G is positive therefore the reaction is non-spontaneous.

If at a temperature T K , the reaction is spontaneous then-

\Delta H-T\Delta S< 0

or, T> \frac{\Delta H}{\Delta S}

or, T> \frac{1.8\times 10^{3}}{-113}

or, T> -16

So at a temperature greater than -16 K, the reaction is spontaneous.

Consider the picture of a gas pump. Which type of gasoline has the highest percentage of octane (the main component of gasoline)
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

premium: 91 octane rating

Explanation:

Octane number refers to the percentage or volume fraction of isooctane in a fuel.

The octane number gives a picture of how safe a fuel is for an engine. The higher the octane rating the lesser the tendency of the fuel to cause knocking of the engine.

The type of gasoline with the highest percentage of octane among the options is premium.
