How do organisms form carbon films? 1.Organisms turn into rock. 2.Residue is left on rocks when organisms decay. 3.Hollow forms are left in sediment by decaying organisms. 4.Organisms leave evidence of their activities, such as footprints.

Why does the sun appear to be the brightest star in the sky? a- its apparent brightness is much greater than other stars. b- it burns more gas, making it brighter than any other star. c- it is the largest star in the galaxy, so it is the brightest star. d- its relative distance to earth is closer than the other stars.

One does not belong why? ice, gold ,wood ,diamond and table salt

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?
