The spent acid from a nitration process contains 33% h2so4, 36% hno3 and 31% h2o. this is to be strengthened by the addition of concentrated h2so4 containing 95% h2so4 and nitric acid containing 78% hno3. the final strengths of mixed acid solution contains 40% h2so4 43% hno3 and the rest water. calculate : a. the amount of spent acid

b. the amount of concentrate h2so4

c. thr amount of concentrate hno3 to be mixed to produce 1500 kg of tge desired acid

Amount of liquid measured in l or lm

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?

Which of these is a physical property
