What is the pH of the lye in soap ?

1. suppose a reaction mixture, when diluted with water, afforded 300 ml of an aqueous solution of 30 g of the reaction product malononitrile [ch2(cn)2], which is to be isolated by extraction with ether. the solubility of malononitrile in ether at room temperature is 20.0 g/100 ml, and in water is 13.3 g/100 ml. what weight of malononitrile would be recovered by extraction with (a) three 100-ml portions of ether and (b) one 300-ml portion of ether? suggestion: for each extraction, let x equal the weight extracted into the ether layer. in part (a), the concentration in the ether layer is x/100 and in the water layer is (30 x)/300; the ratio of these quantities is equal to k 20/13.3.

Some liquids can be distilled, but only at temperatures that are so high that it is impractical, or so high the compound decomposes. explain why distillation such compounds at significantly less than atmospheric pressure (some degree of vacuum) would solve this problem.

Magnesium is the limiting reactant in this experiment. calculate the theoretical yield of mgo for each trial. trial 1: trial 2: data mass of empty crucible with lid trial 1: 26.688 trial 2: 26.681 mass of mg metal, crucible, and lid trial 1: 26.994 trial: 2 26.985 mass of mgo, crucible, and lid trial 1: 27.188 trial 2: 27.180
