1)Let’s say that you recovered 80% trimyristin (after recrystallization, so the final product) from the 2 g of nutmeg you initially started with.
a- If you completed the hydrolysis reaction (see lab) to make myristic acid and glycerol, what would be your theoretical yield of myristic acid?
b- If you recovered 1.72 g of myristic acid, what would be your percent recovery of myristic acid?
c- What might account for sources of error in your recovery?(Give 3 plausible reasons)

A 1.00-g sample of piperazine hexahydrate is dissolved in enough water to produce 100.0 mL of solution and is titrated with 0.500 M HCl.
A.) What is the initial pH of the solution, before any titrant is added?
B.) The percent neutralization points for a titration indicate the percent of the reagent that has reacted. For example, at the 25% neutralization point for piperazine, 75% (0.75×[Pip]) of the base remains, and 25% is neutralized to form PipH+.
Calculate the pH at the 25%, 50%, and 75% neutralization points of the first neutralization, respectively.
C.) What is the pH at the first equivalence point?
D.) The percent neutralization points for a titration indicate the percent of the reagent that has reacted. For example, at the 25% neutralization point for PipH+, 75% (0.75×[PipH+]) of the base remains, and 25% is neutralized to form PipH22+.
Calculate the pH at the 25%, 50%, and 75% neutralization points of the second neutralization, respectively.

(a) A vessel is separated into two parts, A and B, by a bilayer lipid membrane containing Na+ channels. Part A holds an aqueous solution of NaCl with concentration 0.15 mol L-1 and of disaccharide sucrose with concentration 0.01 mol L-1 . Part B holds an aqueous solution of NaCl with concentration 0.015 mol L-1 . Calculate the electrical potential between the two sides of the membrane at 30 oC and at 50 oC. Neglect the effect of temperature on the molarity of the solutions. Assume that the membrane is not permeable for glucose and for Cl ions.

-varies in composition, distinct clumps of each component appear in the mixture
-uniform in composition, the components cannot be visually distinguished
-uses heat to remove a volatile solvent from a dissolved solution, leaving behind the non-volatile components as a solid residue
-exploit some difference in the physical properties of two species in order to separate them
-exploit reactivity to convert one component to a new species which can be easily separated from the other components that are present
-uses a solvent to selectively dissolve one component while leaving other components in the solid state
-uses gravity to pull the liquid through a filter paper to separate a liquid from a solid
-uses a vacuum to pull the liquid through a filter paper to separate a liquid from a solid.
