4. A young chemist has synthesized what he believed to be acetaminophen. He measured the melting point of this newly formed compound to be 163-178°C. If the literature value for the melting point of acetaminophen = 169-170.5°C, would the young chemist be wise to consume this product for headache relief? Why or why not?

When dissolved in water, flunitrazepam, also known as roofies or the "date rape" drug, is difficult to detect because it is colorless, odorless, and tasteless. Recently, a straw has been developed that changes color when placed in a drink spiked with flunitrazepam. A woman at a bar is worried that flunitrazepam was slipped into her water when she left it unattended. She places one of these new color-changing straws into the water and the straw does not change color. Based on this result, is the woman's drink a pure substance or a mixture? mixture pure substance If it is a pure substance, is it an element or a compound? compound

15. You are given a series of 10 tubes. In the first is placed 9 milliliters of saline. In each of the others is placed 5 mL of saline. One milliliter of serum is added to the first tube. Five milliliters from this tube are transferred to the second tube, and 5 ml are transferred throughout the remaining tubes. Discard the last 5ml transferred. Give the following: a. Tube dilution for tubes 1 and 6 b. The solution dilution for tubes 1,4, and 7 c. The amount of serum present in tube #3 after transfer.

ant values if needed for this question. The boiling point of chloroform, CHCI,, is 61.700 °C at 1 atmosphere. K₁(chloroform)-3.67 "C/m In a laboratory experiment, students synthesized a new compound and found that when 13.13 grams of the compound were dissolved in 214.9 grams of chloroform, the solution began to boil at 62.477 °C. The compound was also found to be nonvolatile and a non-electrolyte. What is the molecular weight they determined for this compound? g/mol

Place a small amount (about the size of 1 grain of rice, see picture) of copper sulfate into each of three DRY semi-micro test tubes. Add 20 drops of water to the first test tube and gently flick the test tube with your finger to ensure mixing. 2. Repeat step 1 using acetone in place of water as the solvent in the second test tube. 3. Repeat step 2 replacing acetone with cyclohexane in the third test tube. Hold the test tubes against a white background to compare the solubility of copper sulfate in the three solvents and record your results. Discard these mixtures into the heavy metals waste container in the fume cupboard. Once these test tubes have been emptied you…
