Squirrels eat acorns for energy and to grow and repair tissues. How is an acorn used to build squirrel muscle? The elements in the acorn can be rearranged to make the molecules the squirrel’s body needs

The energy from the acorn warms any damaged muscle and allows it to repair itself and heal

The proteins found in acorns are the same as squirrel muscle proteins, so they attach to muscle cells

Once the acorn has been digested by the squirrel, the carbohydrates are converted to muscle tissue

What is the mass of sodium in 3 moles of sodium chloride

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?
