In a common laboratory experiment in general chemistry, students are asked to determine the relative amounts of benzoic acid and charcoal in a solid mixture. Benzoic acid is relatively soluble in hot water, hut charcoal is not. Devise a method for separating the two components of this mixture
Mixtures are created by physical means (mixing a substance with another; no chemical bonding); if so, can they be separated only by physical means?
Crime scene investigators keep a wide variety of compounds on hand to help with identifying unknown substances they find in the course of their duties. One such investigator, while reorganizing their shelves, has mixed up several small vials and is unsure about the identity of a certain powder. Elemental analysis of the compound reveals that it is 67.31 % carbon, 6.978% hydrogen, 4.617% nitrogen, and 21.10% oxygen by mass.
Which of the compounds could the powder be?
C17H19NO3C17H19NO3 = morphine, analgesic
C17H21NO4C17H21NO4 = cocaine, illicit drug
C7H5N3O6C7H5N3O6 = 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), commonly used explosive
C10H15NC10H15N = methamphetamine, stimulant
C4H5N2OC4H5N2O = caffeine, stimulant
C11H15NO2C11H15NO2 = 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), illicit drug
C21H23NO5C21H23NO5 = heroin, illicit drug
C3H6NO3C3H6NO3 = hexamethylene triperoxide diamine (HMTD), commonly used explosive
