The goal of this exercise is to understand how to multiply fractions in which the numerical quantities have units. Chemical measurements have units. You will need to label quantities with units and to work with units in your mathematical operations for chemistry problems. In fractions, units are multiplied the same way as the numeric values of the numerators and the denominators. That is, the units of the numerators are multiplied to get the units for the numerator of the answer. Likewise, the units of the denominators are multiplied to get the units for the denominator of the answer. For example, if you are characterizing a span of material that has one atom per three units of length, your calculation would look like:

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?
