Methyl benzoate was prepared by the reaction of benzoic acid with methanol in the presence of a mineral acid. The ester product was extracted into dichloromethane and then shaken with saturated sodium chloride solution. What is the purpose of the sodium chloride? To cause the water to be immiscible with the methylene chloride. To raise the density of the aqueous layer so that it will be the bottom layer. To lower the boiling point of the water. To decrease the solubility of the organic product in water.

Since the gas in your graduated cylinder is a mixture of butane and water vapor, you must determine the partial pressure of the butane, pbutane, alone. to do this, consult a reference and record the partial pressure of the water vapor, pwater, at the temperature you recorded. use the following formula to compute the partial pressure of the butane. pbutane = atmosphere - pwater use the following combined gas law formula and compute the volume that the butane sample will occupy at stp. (hint: convert both temperatures to kelvin.) pbutane x voriginal = pstandard x vfinal troom tstandard use the following ratio and proportion formula to determine the mass of butane needed to occupy a volume of 22.4 l at stp. grams of butane you used “x” grams of butane ml of butane corrected to stp = 22,400 ml compute the theoretical molar mass of butane based on its formula and the atomic masses on the periodic table. compare your experimental results from #3 to the theoretical value of #4, computing a percent error of your findings using this formula: % error = measured value - accepted value x 100 accepted value use the following ratio and proportion formula to determine the mass of butane needed to occupy a volume of 22.4 l at stp. need asap

Drug abuse will not lead to physical and psychological dependence. true or false ?

The msds for glacial acetic acid says that it is a flammable liquid that can severely burn any human tissue it comes in contact with. it reacts with bases, various metals, and strong oxidizing agents. its vapors can form explosive mixtures with air.
