(a)
Interpretation:
If
Concept Introduction:
Buoyancy:
It explains the floating nature of a substance in a fluid based on the densities of the substance and the fluid in which it is placed.
If a substance with low density is placed in a fluid of more density, then the substance floats in that fluid.
If a substance with high density is placed in a fluid of low density, then the substance sinks in that fluid.

Interpretation:
For the tube with water and bromobenzene mentioned in part (a), without disturbing the tube, if
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(c)
Interpretation:
If the tube that contains water, bromobenzene and ethanol liquids is thoroughly mixed, what happens in the tube with mixture of liquids has to be given.

- 1. During the set-up of a distillation or a boiling point apparatus, the position of the bulb of the thermometer is crucial. Why is it so important to obtain accurate results?arrow_forward4.A student carried out a simple distillation on a compound known to boil at 124°C and measured a boiling point of 116-117°C. Gas chromatography(a technique for assessing purity)showed that the compound was pure and a calibration check on the thermometer was positive. What might be wrong with the distillation apparatus setup?arrow_forwardQuestion 4. You are on a field trip with your professor and he asks you to make a fixative solution to collect and preserve specimen. You are told to prepare 200 mL of fixative solution containing 30% formaldehyde (vol/vol), 1X glycerol and 2.5 mM sodium chloride (NaCI). In the field trip van you find a stock of 100% pure formaldehyde (liquid), a 10X glycerol stock (liquid), plenty of water and a stock solution of 5M NaCl. There are also all kinds of pipets, cylinders and beakers to measure volumes. 1. a) provide calculations and describe the process of making the fixative solution?arrow_forward

The following table gives information about three solids: nickel, wax and magnesium. attracted by a magnet solid solubility in ethanol Yes Nickel Insoluble No Wax Soluble no Magnesium Insoluble a) Suggest how a mixture of nickel powder and magnesium powder could be separated. (2) b) Suggest how a sample of wax could be obtained from a mixture of wax and magnesium. (4)arrow_forwardTo determine the amount of copper and the identity of the copper compound in the unknown sample, a 100-mL solution containing 120.8 mg of the sample was initially prepared. Then, 5.00 mL of this solution was pipetted and diluted with deionized water in another 100-mL volumetric flask. If the concentration of copper in the 5mL solution is 18mg/L, what is the: (1) mass of copper in the 5ml solution? (2) mass of copper in the unknown sample?arrow_forwardToday the only form of liquid acetaminophen on the market has a concentration of 160 mg acetaminophen per 5.0 mL. How would you instruct parents of an infant to give a total of 40 mg of acetaminophen to their infant? Your directions should be clear, not lead to the confusion caused by the physician in the case study, and include the volume of liquid acetaminophen they should give their son. Please show how you calculated the volume needed to provide 40 mg of acetaminophen.arrow_forward

(i) A prediction of the results of the experiment (ii) A step-by-step walkthrough of how to do the experiment with specific references to amounts of reactants, glassware used, and other experimental details (iii) A summation of the data collected after doing the experiment, with comments on accuracy and precision if possible. (iv) A detailed list of chemicals that will be used (v) Waste disposal procedures (vi) A brief scientific explanation of the predicted results. Said another way, the hypothesis should include a scientific explanation of why the predicted results are expected. 1 2 3 4 5arrow_forwardIn the Analytical Chemistry laboratory, one of the B.Sc student Ms. Fatma wanted to analyze the presence of Iron(II) ion in the water samples collected from Sohar Industrial Area in the Sultanate of Oman and analyzed by Spectrophotometric method. (1) 250.00 mL of this water sample (Solution A) known to contain unknown amount of FeSO4. She has diluted Solution A by a dilution factor 10 to make 250.00 mL solution, which she labeled Solution B. Using Spectrophotometer, she has measured the absorbance value (0.642) for Solution B at 508 nm using 1.00 cm cell (cuvet). The molar absorptivity value for Fe2* ion at 508 nm is ɛ508 = 30.8 M-1cm1.

- Volumetric flasks show no intermediate gradations, but they show a single mark to indicate, with high precision, the volume they contain when they are filled to that mark. For most volumetric devices, "filled to the mark" means filled until the bottom of the meniscus of the contents is exactly coincident with the mark. In lab you prepared a standard solution having a concentration of 7 ppm. Using a buret, you transferred the required amount (7 mL) of the 40 ppm stock solution into a 100.0mL volumetric flask, added 2.0 mL sodium citrate solution, 2.0 mL of hydroquinone solution, 3 mL of phenanthroline solution, and diluted with distilled water to the mark. When you were finished, the final volume in your solution was 0.5cm above the mark. The solution you prepared is __________________ Question 7 options: less than 7 ppm because you added less solvent than necessary. greater than 7 ppm because you added less solvent than necessary. less than 7 ppm because you added more solvent than…arrow_forwardHow many milliliters of a non-medicated, flavored syrup base should a pharmacist add to 1 pint of 30 mg/mL ranitidine (ZANTAC) syrup, to change its concentration to 2%?
