Answer #1

n-Butyl Lithium is used as a strong base, similar bases are :

1. Lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) [(CH3)2CH]2NLi
2. Lithium diethylamide (LDEA) (C2H5)2NLi
3. Sodium amide (NaNH2)
4. Sodium hydride (NaH)
5. Lithium bis(trimethylsilyl) amide [(CH3)3Si2NLi

If you are looking for any base to abstract little acidic proton such as alpha to carbonyl, then NaH or NaNH2 also serves the perpose. But before using these bases please go through MSDS and check with the lab instructor.

I need to find the M of citric acid from my lab experiment. (This is a common titration experiment with NaOH solution and citric acid soda. H3C6H5O7 (aq) +3NaOH (aq) ---> Na3C6H5O7 (aq) + 3H2O (l) The average molarity of my NaOH solution is 0.00896. My first trial resulted in a net 13.26mL. Molar mass of citric acid is 192.12352. How do I figure Mcitirc acid? Mol/can (355 mL) and g citric acid/can?

I have completed a column chromatography lab and need to write a discussion. We performed a TLC at the end to check our separation. Unfortunately, I did not do a good job separating ferrocene and acetyl ferrocene (with hexane, TBME, then acetone) and could not see any of the spots on the developed TLC. Why can't I see the spots at all? They disappeared. How do I explain what the TLC experiment shows about the effectiveness of my separation?

I did an experiment studying torque using a crane boom. For this experiment I need to analyze the sources of error. One source of error I came up with was the accuracy of leveling the string in the experiment but are there any others that anyone could think of? The experiment consisted of finding the center of mass of the crane boom and analyzing the forces on it.
