The wax of a burning candle is a fuel that combines with oxygen in the air. as the fuel is consumed, what happens to most of the energy stored in the bonds of the wax? a. it is used to produce work. b. it stays in the wax. c. it is released as potential energy. d. it is released as heat and light.

Which solution is an example of a nonelectrolyte? a. iodine in hexane b. sodium nitrate in waterc. acetic acid in waterd. hydrogen chloride in water

Asample of ammonia reacts with oxygen as shown. 4nh3(g) + 5o2(g) 4no(g) + 6h2o(g) what is the limiting reactant if 4.0 g of nh3 react with 8.0 g of oxygen? o2 because it produces only 0.20 mol of no. nh3 because it produces only 0.20 mol of no. o2 because it produces two times less no than nh3. nh3 because it produces three times more no than o2.

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?
