Answer #1

Ans. NOT closing the pinch clamp properly may have following effects-

I. While flask is cooled, the vapor condensed leading to reduction in the volume of vapor in flask. It creates a negative pressure. If the pinch clamp in NOT closed people, the negative pressure in flask would lead to inward suction of air.

II. Inward suction of air into flask would increase the mass of flask. It would thus give the abnormally high mass of the vapor present in the flask.

III. “Molar mass = Mass of vapor / n” . Since “mass of vapor” is abnormally high, the resultant molar mass of the compound/substance would be higher than the actual value.

A student was assigned the task of determining the identity of an unknown liquid. The student weighed a clean, dry 250-mL Erlenmeyer flask. The student completely filled the flask with water. He then proceeded to weigh the flask containing the water. Mass of 250-mL Erlenmeyer flask: 78.639 g Mass of 250-mL Erlenmeyer flask and water: 327.039 g Assuming the density of water is 1.00 g/mL at ambient temperature, what is the exact volume (in mL) of the 250-mL Erlenmeyer flask?...

Two students vigorously boil water in open flasks, one is a room on campus (flask 1) and one in a room at a ski lodge (flask 2). The flasks are identical but flask 2 contains more water. The rooms have the same temp(20 degree C). Air pressure is 750 mmHg on campus and 500mmHg at ski lodge. After several minutes of boiling, each student removes the flasks from the stove and seals it with a tight-fitting cover. Assume that the...

After a synthesis, a student obtains 1.0 g of crude and impure product. In an attempt to purify the crude material, the student dissolved the aforementioned 3.0 mg into the minimum amount of recrystallization solvent necessary at 25°C.   Next, the student cooled the flash containing the mixture in an ice-water bath for 15min while scraping the inside of the flask with a glass stir rod until no more crystal formation was observed. The solution was filtered, and the crystals were...

Chem Lab 101 Summarize what you observe when you disconnect the stopper from the flask after the flask has cooled. This is one of the questions for my Chem 101 Lab that I somehow missed. The experiment involved placing a rubber stopper over a 150 mL beaker with a pressure sensor fixed to a hole in the stopper. The flask was then placed in a beaker of boiling water and the water's heat source was turned off. After all measurements...

What was the reason for the addition of H2O (10 ml), followed by gentle heating? Draw a mechanism equation for the reaction taking place. Why was the water added slowly and through the condenser? Here is my experiment... Experimental procedure Warning: acetic anhydride is corrosive and a lachrymator. When carrying it across the lab, when it is inside a flask, please temporarily stopper the flask. Reaction Place salicylic acid (200 mg = 0.200g) into a dry 25ml round bottom flask...

What would happen to the results in this experiment if the student read the barometric pressure as 713 mm Hg rather than its true value of 743 mm Hg? a) The moles of the vapor would be too small, thus the calculated molar mass would be too large. b) The moles of the vapor would be too small, thus the calculated molar mass would be too small. c) The moles of the vapor would be too large, thus the calculated...

Preparation of acetyl salicyclic acid (Aspirin) post-lab questions 1.) The FeCl3 test you performed on salicylic acid, crude aspirin, and the purified aspirin gave different colors. Comment on the results you obtained in each of these tests in terms of colors and the functional groups present and what does that indicate about the purity of your purified aspirin? I got a dark purple color for saliclyc acid tube. "dark yellow" for crude aspirin tube, "llighter yellow" color for aspirin tube...
