In the si system of units, the mole is one of seven base units. it is frequently used in chemical calculations. however, a mole of something is just a particular quantity of it. it is not a unit of measure in the way that meters, seconds, and kilograms are. calculations performed with the number of moles of a substance could also be performed with the number of particles of a substance. based on this information, do you think that the mole should be considered a base unit in the si system? explain why or why not.

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?

Diffraction is when light is bent around obstructions. which of the these observation about clouds would indicate diffraction? a) after rain storms, you can sometimes see rainbows. b) clouds are white or gray and cannot be seen through. c) on a cloudy day, the temperature tends to be cooler than a sunny day. d) the edges of dark clouds appear lighter. this
