The vegetable oil we used for this lab was mostly composed of linoleic fatty acids. Draw the skelton structure for the soap that was made.

From the structure of linoleic acid, can you determine if it is a saturated or an unsaturated fatty acid? Justify your answer.

In this lab, you prepared soap from vegetable oil. Would you make the same exact sopa if we switched to coconut oil? Give a brief explanation.

1.Structural isomer refers to organic compound that have the same molecular formula but different structure (bonding pattern is different). This problem is designed to guide you to explore structure isomer.

(a)Go ahead and write Lewis structure for butane (C₄H₁₀). You may draw four C atoms connect straight as like in train.

(b)In the above structure, four C atoms are connected straight in a line. If you move one C atom to the side (like 3 C atoms in a line, one connected to the middle C atom), after you supply all the H atoms to make all the C atoms saturated with 4-bonds each. Will the molecular formula for your structure drawn be different from butane?

( c) Structures you obtained in (a) and (b) are an example of structural isomers. What kind of name we can give to structure in (b) so we can differentiate it from structure in (a)?

2.Alkane is the basic building block of organic compound. We often write alkane chain as a group R. On this basic chain, we can add different functional group, like âOH for alcohol, -COOH for carboxylic acid.

(a)Methanol refers to CH₃OH. Ethanol refers to CH₃CH₂OH. Draw the Lewis structure for these two compounds.

(b) If you have a straight alkane chain, where does âOH group can be attached? How do you name it so you can know where âOH group is attached?

3. Give the Lewis structure for CH₃COOH. Give its systematic name and common name.

4. Ester refers to two alkane chains connected through a single O atom. Write the Lewis structure for this simplest kind of ester: CH₃OCH₃. Find its name and some common use.

5. Benzene molecular formula is C₆H₆. The six carbon atoms are connected to form a ring (hexagon). Draw the Lewis structure for C₆H₆. Do you think the six bond lengths between C-C atoms should be same or not according to your drawn Lewis structure?

1.A block of metal has dimensions 5.00 cm x 2.50 cm x 3.00 cm. Calculate the volume of the block, showing the answer to the correct number of significant figures and unit.

2.If the block of metal from question 2 has a mass of 405.3 g, what is the density of the metal? Calculate the density, showing the answer to the correct number of significant figures and correct unit.

3.Convert the numerical value of the density in question 2 from units of grams per cubic centimeter (g / cm3) to milligrams per milliliter (mg / mL). Note:

-there are 1000 milligrams in a gram.

-the volume unit cubic centimeter cm3 equals the milliliter mL.

Keep the new density to the same significant figures as you reported in question 2

4.A finely-powdered white solid is known to be homogeneous mixture rather than a pure substance. A sample of this solid completely dissolves in water. Give TWO possible substances that could make up this solid mixture, and briefly explain your choices.

5.If your percent SALT in Lab 2 is relatively low, it can be assumed that some salt did not go into the filtrate (the liquid that passes through the filter paper), but rather may have been trapped with the sand. Explain briefly how you could recover any of this "missing" salt?

6.A brand of aspirin claims to contain 325 mg (1 g = 1000 mg) of aspirin per tablet. In addition to pure aspirin, a tablet also contains a non-active filler. We assume that the tablet contains only these two components: aspirin and filler. If a single tablet weighs 1.17 g, calculate the percent filler. Hint: calculate percent aspirin FIRST using the formula

% aspirin = [ (mass aspirin Ã· mass tablet) x 100], the find % filler. When using this formula, make sure the masses of aspirin and tablet have the same units.

7.Water has a density of 1.00 g/mL, and chloroform has a density of 1.49 g/mL. These two liquids do not mix with each other, but rather, form two layers when combined.

8.Equal volumes of water and chloroform are placed in a beaker. A piece of nylon is dropped in the beaker, and is seen to float the the interface (the boundary) of the two liquid layers.

Give a possible value for the density of nylon, including the correct units. Explain your answer briefly.

9.A procedure similar to that used in Lab 3 was performed to find the density of cyclohexane, which has an actual density of 0.779 g/mL, Due to poor lab technique, an experimental density of only 0.663 g/mL is found. Calculate the percent error for the density. Give your answer to the correct number of significant figures.

10.Two white powders are given to you. One is pure sodium bicarbonate, and the other is baking powder (a mixture of sodium bicarbonate and a weak acid like citric acid). Which single test (NOT counting the visual examination with a hand lens) used in Lab 3 allows you to distinguish sodium bicarbonate from baking powder? Explain your answers completely.

11.Gold has a specific heat of 0.129 J/g^oC. If a piece of gold (initially at 10.0^oC) is dropped into hot water, the final temperature of both the gold and the water is measured as 70.9^oC. If it is known that 4560 J of heat transferred from the hot water to the gold, what is the mass of the piece of gold in grams? Give your answer to the correct number of significant figures.

12.It is stated in the Introduction to Lab 4 that q_water = -q_metal. This equation means that if a hot piece of metal is placed in water, the amount of heat given off by the metal is exactly equal to the amount of heat absorbed by the water. However, this equation is not always accurate, because not all of the heat from the metal necessarily goes to the water. Where else can some of the heat go if it is not absorbed by the water?

13.A certain brand of breakfast cereal claims to have 100 Calories per 28 gram serving. 150.0 grams of cereal are burned using a procedure similar to that used in Lab 4. How many calories of heat are released? Note 1 food Calorie (capital C) = 1000 heat calories (lower case c)

14.The oxalate anion C2O42- is found in many dark green vegetables, including spinach, swiss chard, and collard greens. When cations react with oxalate, the resulting ionic compounds are insoluble in water except Group I A oxalates (e.g. compounds of lithium, sodium, potassium, etc. and oxalate) and ammonium oxalate (NH4)2C2O4. These exceptions are soluble in water.

15.Spinach leaves are cut into small pieces, mashed with small amounts of boiling water, and filtered through filter paper to remove the insoluble spinach material. The resulting aqueous extract contains the oxalate anion.if a small amount of the spinach extract is mixed with a small amount of a calcium acetate solution, Ca(C2H3O2)2(aq), what do you expect will be observed?

16.If a small amount of the spinach extract from question 16 is mixed with a small amount of a potassium acetate solution, KC₂H₃O₂(aq), what do you expect will be observed?

17.If a hot water extract of another vegetable is mixed with calcium acetate solution and a white precipitate is observed, does this automatically indicate the presence of the oxalate anion in this vegetable? Explain your answer.

Alcohols R-O-H are characterized by the presence of the hydroxyl group

Because of intermolecular co-association, alcohols show higher boiling points

than aldehydes, ethers, or ketones of similar mass. Among alcohols, boiling

points increase with increased surface area. Increased surface area occurs as

more carbons are added to the alkyl portion or with decreased branching of th

alkyl group. Thus, 1-propanol has a higher boiling point than ethanol

(increased C#). 1-propanol also has a higher boiling point than 2-propanol

(decreased branching)
