Chapter 3, Problem 1E
Look up the physical properties of several of the compounds you will be making in your lab from several different places on the Internet. Do you believe them all to be correct?
Expert Solution & Answer
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Look up the physical properties of several of the compounds which will be making in chemistry lab from several different places on the Internet, do you believe them all to be correct or not is to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Properties of Organic Compounds:Organic compounds are those whosechemicalformula have at least one carbon atom, and often contain a hydrogen atom as well. The bonds formed between the carbon and hydrogen atoms to form a hydrocarbon arevery strong and the resulting compoundis often essential to living things. They show characteristics of covalent compounds like they have low meltingand boiling points and generally insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents.
Answer to Problem 1E
No, not all thephysical properties of several of the compounds which will be making in chemistry lab from several different places on the Internet are correct.
Explanation of Solution
Physical properties of compounds typically of interest include both quantitative and qualitative features. Quantitative properties include melting point, boiling point, index of refraction, etc. and qualitative properties include odor, consistency, solubility, and color, etc.
Values of physical properties are slightly different, on different websites. For example, boiling point of benzoic acid on Wikipedia is 250℃ while on chemfinder its 249℃.
Thephysical properties of several of the compounds which will be making in chemistry lab from several different places on the Internet are notexactly same but values of theses physical properties slightly varies.

There are four sketches below. The first sketch shows a sample of Substance X. The three sketches underneath it show three
different changes to the sample. You must decide whether each of these changes is possible. If a change is possible, you must
also decide whether it is a physical change or a chemical change.
Each sketch is drawn as if the sample were under a microscope so powerful that individual atoms could be seen. Also, you should
assume that you can see the entire sample, and that the sample is in a sealed box, so that no matter can enter or leave.

- Gas chromatography is an analytical technique that is used to separate and analyze samples that can be vaporized without decomposing. The chromatography column contains a substance that helps separate the sample being analyzed. The sample is vaporized and carried through the column by an inert gas. As the mixture moves through the column, the compounds are separated based on how much they interact with the substance in the column. The molecules of each compound are detected as they exit the column, and a peak for each compound is produced on a chromatogram. The area under each peak on the chromatogram is proportional to the concentration of the compound in the sample. A chromatogram produced by separating a mixture of compounds is shown. Time to Go Through Column Based on the information given, which of the following statements about the chromatogram is most likely true? A The three peaks each represent a different element.
