A person named as a dependent is ________.

A student  runs dehydration of an alcohol ( an elimination reaction)   and uses TLC to monitor the progress  of the reaction . What can be said about the TLC run in 10% Ethyl acetate (polar solvent) in hexane (non-polar solvent)

 3.863 g of product mixture was isolated. The given image shows the GC with % area of the first peak (from left) at 55% and the second peak (from left) at 45% . The % yield of the reaction would be _______ %.

The ideal amount of anhydrous magnesium sulfate or calcium chloride  used to “dry” an organic solution is 

Arrange the following methods from MOST SAFE to LEAST SAFE a) warm in an erlenmyer flask on a hot plate in a hood b) warm in a round bottom flask attached with a reflux condensor in a hood c)warm in a beaker on a hot plate d) warm in a test tube  on a warm waterbath no longer on the hotplate

The  BEST way (most conclusive for THIS experiment) to characterize a successful reaction is  to 

  The given image shows the GC with % area of the first peak at 55% and the second peak at 45% . Based on what you know about GC, you can  say that reaction was  [A] and given that the product mixture  isolated was 3.863 g, you can determine the actual amount of product using the GC to be [B]

For the same reaction,  what is the theoretical yield in grams  ? 1. Mix 5 mL 1-phenyl ethanol (molar mass 122 g/mol, density =1.02 g/ml)  with 15 mL of conc. H2SO4 in a ______mL round bottom flask.2. Add a  boiling chip and gently swirl the contents and heat to boil in a reflux set up for 60 minutes .3.  Cool and collect the organic layer. Add CaCl2 was added. Stopper the flask and allow to  stand for 10 minutes with occasional stirring.4. Decant the product in a pre-weighed product bottle. Weigh the product and calculate the % yield.Analyze the product using GC, IR, NMR and chemical test.

When running the reaction,   the starting material was found to be a liquid.  Per the reaction procedure,  you need  5.000 g of the material . You have an analytical balance, a micropipettor, a 100 mL measuring cylinder, a disposable plastic pipet (Berol pipet) at your convenience.  What are some methods to get the amount that you need in the flask ?

What is the purpose of a boiling chip?
