Words made from letters of the alphabet are similar to molecules made from atoms. Based on what you already know about matter, which statement best explains this comparison? A. Atoms can make many different molecules, just like letters can make many different words.
B. Molecules must contain many different atoms, just like words must contain many different letters.
C. There are 26 different atoms that are used to form molecules, just like there are 26 different letters that are used to form words.
D. There are no rules for how letters combine to make words, just like there are no rules for how atoms combine to make molecules.

If a planet rotates 360 degrees during a 24 hour time period, what does that tell us about the planet? a. the middle of the planet is in darkness b. the seasons on the planet vary every day. c. the planet runs on a 12-hour time clock. d. the temperature on the planet varies daily.

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?
