Roots protect plants from destructive insects and diseases.

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?

Answer asap need it by wednesday morning carry out the following calculations on ph and ka of from data. i. calculate the ph of 0.02m hcl ii. calculate the ph of 0.036m naoh iii. calculate the ph of 0.36m ca(oh)2 iv. calculate the ph of 0.16m ch3cooh which has ka = 1.74 x 10-5 mol dm-3 v. calculate ka for weak acid ha which has a ph of 3.65 at 0.30m concentration vi. calculate the ka of a solution made by mixing 15.0 cm3 0.2m ha and 60.0 cm3 0.31m a-. [ph= 3.80] vii. calculate the ph of a solution made by mixing 15.0 cm3 0.1m naoh and 35.0 cm3 0.2m hcooh. [ka = 1.82 x 10-4 m]
