POSSIBLE POINTS: 20 Will there be a sigma or a pi bond formed between sodium and fluorine (sodium fluoride)?
A. sigma bond - The sodium's valence electron is in the s orbital, and fluorine's valence electrons are in the p orbital. S and p orbitals make a sigma bond,
B. pi bond - Sodium contains p orbitals, fluoride contains p orbitals, and p orbitals make pi bonds.
C. neither - Sodium and fluorine make an ionic compound, and sigma and pi bonds are only for molecular (covalent) compounds.
D. both - A double bond forms between the sodium and the fluorine atom, so one bond is a sigma and the other is a pi bond.

Straightforward questions answered in the powerpoint slidesreaction: heating the starting materials under refluxwhat does it mean to heat under reflux? why do we choose water as the reflux solvent? what are boiling chips used for? why do we put a condenser on top of the reaction? why do we add heat and let the reaction stir for 30 minutes? why do we add sulfuric acid to the reaction after it cools as opposed to when it’s still hot? separation: filtration of precipitatewhy don’t we do an aqueous and organic extraction in the separatory funnel? why do you rinse the salicylic acid on the filter with ice cold water? purification: recrystallization of salicylic acid (no hot filtration needed)what is the difference in the amount of room temperature water vs. boiling water needed to dissolve the salicylic acid (assume a 1.2 gram yield of salicylic acid)? remember, in the lab if you need x ml of boiling water to dissolve a solid, then you should add a little more (definitely no more than 1.5 times the theoretical amount) to ensure it doesn’t recrystallize prematurely.analysis: melting point of salicylic acidwhat can you conclude if the melting point of the salicylic acid you just synthesized is 152-155oc and the 1: 1 mix of your product and “synthetic” salicylic acid is 151-154oc?

What is the percent composition of ca(oh)2? 37.7% ca, 53.0% o, and 10.3% h 45.5% ca, 38.2% o, and 16.3% h 54.0% ca, 43.0% o, and 2.7% h 64.7% ca, 27.0% o, and 8.3% h

For the reaction c6h14(g) & longrightarrow; c6h6(g) + 4h2(g), δp(h2)/δt was found to be 2.5 x 10-2 atm/s, where δp(h2) is the change in pressure of hydrogen. determine δp(c6h14)/δt for this reaction at the same time.
