I did an organic chemistry lab where I purified a sample of crude biphenyl. The following questions are in regard to the lab.

a. More polar solvents move molecules more rapidly than less polar solvents. If you used a 1:1 hexanes: methanol instead of the 4:1 hexanes:ethyl acetate, would the products elute fater or slower? is the mixture of 1:1 hexanes:methanol a good choice as an eluent with biphenyl?

b. Why do impure compounds have lower melting points than the pure samples? Explan in molecular terms using biphenyl as an example. (we removed methyl orange from biphenyl)

c. Naphthalene has a melting point of 80.3 degrees Celcius. Is that higher or lower than the melting point of biphenyl? Explain the answer in molecular terms (biphenyl has 2 rings connected with a bond and Napthalene is 2 fused rings)

The rate of reduction of [Co(NH3)5(OH2)]3 by Cr(II) is seven orders of magnitude slower than reduction of its conjugate base, [Co(NH3)5(OH)]2, by Cr(II). For the corresponding reductions with [Ru(NH3)6]2, the two differ by less than a factor of 10. What do these observations suggest about their mechanisms?

You need to make a benzoic acid-based buffer that has a ph of 5.10. The volume should be 500ml. What masses of the acid and its conjugate base should you use? (Hint: you should not go over 1M in concentration for either acid or conjugate base) Show all Work.

Part B. The pH of the above buffer solution should not go above 5.15. If 10ml of 0.1 M NaOH is added to the buffer, will the pH go past the maximum value?

Show using the C4v point group character table the orthogonality of any two irreducible representations.

Using the same point group demonstrate the property of the character table that two irreducible representations can be used to deduce the characters for another (ex combinations of the irreducible representations for px and py can be used to determine the characters for the irreducible representation of dxy)

URGENT!! Solid carbon can react with gaseous water to form carbon monoxide gas and hydrogen gas. The equilibrium constant for the reaction at 700.0 K is Kp=1.60×10−3. Part A If a 1.55-L reaction vessel initially contains 121 mbar of water at 700.0 K in contact with excess solid carbon, find the percent by mass of hydrogen gas of the gaseous reaction mixture at equilibrium.

I've tried 4 times, I keep getting it wrong. Please show me how to do it! It is due very soon.
