(c) Mendeleev was convinced of the importance of arranging elements in the periodic table in accordance with trends therefore he questioned the accuracy of the atomic masses of several elements. One place you can see this is in the fourth period; identify the elements involved, and explain why he questioned the atomic masses. ​

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?

One way that radioactive waste is treated is by burying it in repositories. the repositories are found only in states with very low populations. true or false? a. trueb. false(also i meant to put high school but it put down middle school instead)

In a laboratory, 1.55mg of an organic compound containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen is burned for analysis. this combustion resulted in the formation of 1.45mg of carbon dioxide and .89 mg of water. what is the empirical formula for this compound?
