Describe and explain how each of the following experimental errors or variations would affect the HETP value and the efficient of the separation. a) If you didn't collect the HETP sample until midway through the distillation. b) If all of your liquid distilled within 5 minutes of the time you began heating. c) If you stacked two packed columns over boiling flask rather than one.

Enumerate the characteristics of a substance for it to be separated from the heterogeneous mixture by steam distillation. 3. How does steam facilitate the distillation of essential oils? 4. Discuss some applications of simple distillation and steam distillation. Explain why you can use each method for the chosen application. 5.

2. During heating, some solution of NaCl spattered out of the evaporating dish. How would this affect the percent recovery of the mixture?
Which of the following is true when preparing solutions? a. Make sure that the solvent and reagents are contaminated. b. When diluting to the mark using a volumetric flask, the upper meniscus and mark should be at eye level. c. If amount added is over the mark, you cannot just take out the excess liquid and preparation must be repeated. d. After mixing the contents of the flask and the level of the meniscus seems lower than the mark, add more diluent.
Which of the following could DECREASE the amount of the recovered crystals in the purification by recrystallization experiment? Collecting the recrystallized benzoic acid by filtration using a pre-weighed filter paper. Using a long-stemmed funnel in the hot filtration step. Cooling the filtered solution rapidly. Washing the recovered crystals using hot solvent. a. II, III b. II, IV c. II, III, IV d. I, II, III, IV
Isopropanol and water are miscible, meaning they can be combined in any ratio. So why were they immiscible in this experiment? In other words, why does the presence of sodium chloride reduce the solubility?
During heating, some solution of NaCl splattered out of the evaporating dish. How would this affect the calculated percentage of mixture recovered upon separation?
How was the precipitate obtained after filtration? By scraping from the filter paper and transferring to a watch glass. By redissolving in hydrochloric acid. By drying the precipitate on the filter paper using a desiccator. By charring the filter paper and igniting the product in a crucible.
Can you proceed with sample analysis even without standardizing the titrant solution? Why or why not? You have finished two trials of the sample analysis for the experiment and you noticed that the burette is almost empty (~5 mL remaining). Should you add more titrant before the next sample analysis or not? Why or why not?
