Suppose a reaction mixture, when diluted with water, afforded 300 mL of an aqueous solution of 30 g of the reaction product malononitrile [CH2(CN)2], which is to be isolated by extraction with ether. The solubility of malononitrile in ether at room temperature is 20.0 g/100 mL, and in water is 13.3 g/100 mL. What weight of malononitrile would be recovered by extraction with (a) three 100-mL portions of ether and (b) one 300-mL portion of ether

The given question is not complete, the complete question is:

Suppose a reaction mixture, when diluted with water, afforded 300 mL of an aqueous solution of 30 g of the reaction product malononitrile [CH2(CN)2], which is to be isolated by extraction with ether. The solubility of malononitrile in ether at room temperature is 20.0 g/100 mL, and in water is 13.3 g/100mL. The ratio of these quantities is equal to the partition coefficient, k, which equals What weight of malononitrile would be recovered by extraction of (a) three 100-mL portions of ether and (b) one 300-mL portion of ether? SHOW WORK (Can be written in pen and attached to report). Suggestion: For each extraction, let x equal the weight extracted into the ether layer. In part (a), for the first of the three extractions, the concentration of malononitrile in the ether layer is x/100 and in the water layer is (30-x)/100.

The correct answer is 10 grams and 18 grams.

Explanation:

Based on the given question, 20 gram per 100 ml is the solubility of malononitrile in ether, and 13.3 gram per 100 ml is the solubility of malononitrile in water.

Thus, the ration of the solubility is,

Solubility in water/solubility in ether = 20/13.3 = 1.50

a) Let w be the weight of malononitrile extracted into water in every extraction. Then the concentration of the ether layer will be w/100. The concentration in the water layer will be 30-w/300. Now the ratio will be,

Ratio = w/100 / (30-w)/300

1.50 = w/100 * 300 (30-w)

w = 10

Hence, the weight of malononitrile recovered by extraction is 10 grams.

b) The concentration in the ether layer will be w/300. The concentration in the water layer will be (30-w) / 300. Now the ratio will be,

Ratio = w/300 / (30-w) / 300

1.50 = w/300 * 300 (30-w)

w = 18

Hence, 18 grams is the weight of malononitrile recovered by extraction.

Answer from: Quest

Mass is the amount of matter in an object. weight is the measurement of the pull of gravity on an object. say for example, you travel to the moon which has a different gravitational field compared to the gravitational field of earth. (gravitational fields: earth = 1, moon = 0.165) now when you are on the moon, the pull of gravity on you is different than on the earth. and as weight is the measurement of the pull of gravity on an object, that means yes, your weight can and will change on the moon. however, on the moon, on earth or even on jupiter, the amount of mass inside of you remains the same. meaning your physical mass remains constant. in conclusion it is possible for your weight to change as your mass remains constant.

Answer from: Quest

the formula for the conversion of temperature from degree celsius to kelvin is:

$k = ^{o}c + 273.15$

the sample of water at $38^{o}c$ is converted to kelvin temperature by using the above formula as:

$k = 38^{o}c + 273.15 = 311.15 k$

on comparing the two samples of water at $38^{o}c$ or we can say that at $311.15 k$ and at $295 k$ respectively. the difference between the temperatures of two samples of water is:

$311.15 k - 295 k = 16.15 k$

hence, one can say that the sample of water at $38^{o}c$ is greater than the sample of water at $295 k$ by $16.15 k$ .
