When you measured out one ml of the trans-1,2-dibenzoylethylene in ethyl acetate solution it had a mass of 0.890 grams. (0.050 g of yellow solidand rest of it is ethyl acetate). the forerun of ethyl acetate had a mass of 0.075g and the rest of the ethyl acetate collected had a mass of 0.253 g. the trans-1,2-dibenzoylethylene had a mass of 0.046 g. what is the percent recovery of each of the materials?
if the ethyl acetate collected in the forerun had a refractive index of 1.3715 at 24.5 c, what is the corrected value for 20 c?
3. i. the ir spectrum of trans-1,2-dibenzoylethylene has a strong peak near 1680 cm-1. to what stretching frequency could this peak correspond?

ii. similarly, ethyl acetate shows a strong signal at 1730 cm-1. to what stretching frequency could this peak correspond?

iii. explain why the c=o signal in trans-1,2-dibenzoylethylene appears at lower frequency than that

of ethyl acetate.

it would be a gas formation

1 is the answer to this problem

0.88m hope i am correct : )

answer : the correct answer is 2) hno₃ and naoh .

arrhenius concept of acid and base :

acid :

according to arrhenius acid are those which release h⁺ or hydronium ion (h₃o⁺) in aqueous solution .

example : hcl +h₂o ↔ h₃o⁺ + cl⁻

hcl is giving h₃o⁺ ion in water , hence it is an arrhenius acid .

base :

according to arrhenius , bases are those which releases oh⁻ ions in aqueous solution .

example : koh (aq) ↔ k⁺ + oh⁻

since koh is producing oh⁻ ions hence , it is an arrhenius base .

checking the options :

1) ch₃oh and naoh :

ch₃oh is known as methanol , an organic compound , which is neutral compound . the dissociation of ch₃oh is negligible . it is very very weak acid (ka = 3.2 * 10 ⁻¹² ) .

naoh being ionic gives na⁺ and oh⁻ ions in aqueous solution as :

naoh ↔ na⁺ + oh⁻ . hence it is an arrhenius base

it can be concluded that ch₃oh and naoh is not arrhenius acid and base.

2) hno₃ and naoh :

hno₃ is an ionic compound which gives ions h⁺ and no₃⁻ ion in aqueous solution as:

hno₃ + h₂o ↔ h₃o⁺ + no₃⁻

since it is giving h⁺ ion . hno₃ is arrhenius acid .

naoh being ionic gives na⁺ and oh⁻ ions in aqueous solution as :

naoh ↔ na⁺ + oh⁻

. hence it is an arrhenius base .

it can be said that hno₃ and naoh are arrhenius acid and base.

3) ch₃oh and hcl

as discussed ch₃oh is neutral compound .

while hcl in aqueous solution dissociates to give h⁺ and cl⁻ ions as :

hcl + h₂o→ h₃o⁺ + cl⁻ . so hcl is arrhenius acid .

hence , ch₃oh and hcl are not arrhenius acid and base.

4) hno₃ and hcl :

hno₃ as discussed gives h⁺ in aqueous solution , while hcl also gives h⁺ in aqueous solution .

hence both hno₃ and hcl are arrhenius acid they are not acid and base .

so the arrhenius acid and base are 2) hno₃ and naoh.
