True or false? you should change the subscripts to balance chemical equations.

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.

16. why must the number of electrons lost equal the number of electrons gained in every redox reaction? use 3 – 4 sentences in your own words to address this question. 18. what type of radiation is emitted when chromium-51 decays into manganese-51? show the nuclear equation that leads you to this answer. 19. a radioactive nucleus alpha decays to yield a sodium-24 nucleus in 14.8 hours. what was the identity of the original nucleus? show the nuclear equation that leads you to this answer.
