Draw a flow diagram for the separation of benzoic acid, phenol, and naphthalene. Enough detail must be included for someone to perform the experiment, however, you do not need to include masses or volumes

( this question pertains to acid/base extractions, ect. ) Please be neat, as I seek guidance and mastery, thank you.

Hydrocarbon Lab Post-Question:

Two of the compounds in this experiment had similar odors, yet their molecular structures are very different. Comment on factors at the molecular level that may be involved in the mechanism of smell. (Assume that a nerve impulse to the olfactory center of the brain is initiated by interaction of molecules, in this case the hydrocarbons, with a receptor in the nose.)

Managers of the New Hope and Ivyland Short Line Railroad conducted and experiment in which they reduced fares by about 28% for approximately a year to estimate the price elasticity of demand. This large fare reduction resulted in essentially no change in the railroad’s revenues.

Take a face value, what seemed to be the price elasticity of demand?

1. In the experiment of rolling a balanced die twice. Let X be the minimum of the two numbers obtained and Y be value of the first roll minus the value of the second roll. Determine the probability mass functions and cumulative distribution functions of X and Y, and sketch their graphs

please also solve probability for Y

One method for preparing alcohols involves hydration of alkenes with aqueous acids (such as sulfuric acid and water). In light of this fact, it seems surprising that the phosphoric acid promotes the elimination of cyclohexanol to give cyclohexene plus water at high temperatures, the very components required to make cyclohexanol. Why was your experiment successful?

In an experiment, why would the concentration of a sample decrease when changing the wavelength for a spectrophotometer from 235 nm to 280 nm?


This is just a general question, I would like to know why the absorbance peak would be higher at a wavelength of 235nm rather than at 280nm. Is this normal? or could it an experimetnal error?

In a laboratory experiment, students synthesized a new compound and found that when 11.77 grams of the compound were dissolved to make 253.3 mL of a benzene solution, the osmotic pressure generated was 3.94 atm at 298 K. The compound was also found to be nonvolatile and a non-electrolyte.  


What is the molecular weight they determined for this compound?

In a series of experiments, the U.S. Navy developed an undersea habitat. In one experiment, the mole percent composition of the atmosphere in the undersea habitat was 79.0% He, 17.0% N2, and 4.00% O2. What will the partial pressure of each gas be when the habitat is at a depth below sea level where the pressure is 5.41 atm?
