The molecular mass of KOH is 56. In a reaction with another compound X, 1 mol of KOH is added to 1 mol of compound X. Compound X has a molecular mass of 200. The matrix of the reaction is only water, and upon rotary evaporation, 238 grams of product are recovered. Assuming 100% recovery of the product and a 100% completed reaction, what is the most likely explanation for the mass discrepancy? |
|
A
|
The caustic solution reacted with compound X in such a way that volatile compounds were liberated and later evaporated |
B

Q:

An azeotrope is a mixture of two or more liquids which distill together as if they were a single compound. Ethanol and water form an azeotrope, making it difficult to purify ethanol. Addition of benzene can help to solve this problem: benzene, ethanol, and water boil at a ratio of 7:17:76 water:ethanol:benzene. This leaves behind almost all of the excess ethanol. During a distillation, you work with a mixture whose ratio is 7:20:76. What remains after the water:ethanol:benzene azeotrope has boiled off? |
|
A
|
3 parts ethanol |
B
|
Everything; the azeotrope will not boil if the liquids are not in the correct proportions. |
C
|
Nothing; the azeotrope will adjust to accommodate the extra 3 parts of ethanol |
D
|
This this cannot be determined based on the starting ratios because adjustments to the starting proportions can have unpredictable consequences on the ratio at which the azeotrope will boil. |

A student is performing bomb calorimetry for a combustion reaction. The bomb calorimeter normally holds 5 L of water with a heat capacity of 4.185 J/g•°C. However, the student misread the directions and used 6 L of ethanol which has a heat capacity of 2.423 J/g•°C. If the student calculates the energy released by the reaction assuming it was 5 L of water, what will be the difference between the actual energy of the reaction and the calculated energy? Note: the density of ethanol and water under normal conditions is 0.8 g/mL and 1.0 g/mL, respectively. |

The calculated energy will be higher than the actual energy because the total heat capacity of the calorimeter with ethanol is greater than with water. |
B
