Answer #1

The values of melting point of acetaminophen are in the range of 168-1720C. Molar mass (g/mol) 151.16, Its solubility in cold water is 1.43 g / 100 cm3 but it is much more soluble in hot water (5g / 100 cm3) and in ethanol (1.43 g / 100 cm3).

The Rƒ value for acetaminophen is 0.24 [Indian Pharmacopoeia], Rƒ values of standard sample-Paracetamolum Eur. Pharmacopoeia (Rƒ=0.65) [ European Pharmacopoeia]. Probably you may need USP (United States Pharmacopoeia) i do not have that info right now. It is experimentally determined value.

The Rƒ is calculated by dividing the distance the compound traveled from the original position by the distance the solvent travelled from the original position (the solvent front).

When identifying an unknown compound in organic lab, will the tests for aldehyde and ketone work for anything with a carbonyl? For example, will the DNP test be negative if there are no carbonyls present at all or will it be positive if there is a carbonyl even included esters or amides? I️ need a suggestion for a test to narrow down if my unknown has a carbonyl at all. The unknown will be an amide, an ester, aldehyde, ketone,...

My lab is calling for me to calculate the hypochlorite molarity in bleach. The actual question is as follows: Determine the average hypochlorite molarity in each bleach sample based on the molarity and volume of standardized thiosulfate solution to reach the end point, the overall reaction stoichiometry, and the volume of the sample tritrated. I know the molarity and volume of the standardized thiosulfate solution (which is 0.157 M and 7.75 mL respectively) And I also know the volume of...

Freezing Point Depression Lab Objective: To use freezing point to determine the molecular weight of an unknown substance. In this lab, we used benzophene as the solvent, which has a freezing point of 48.1 degrees celsius and Kf value of 9.80 degrees C/m. The procedure consisted of measuring out 10 g benzophenone in a test tube and melting the substance in a warm water bath. When melted, we removed the test tube from the bath and allowed it to cool....
