Over the last several decades, scientists have addressed the problem of nonrenewable natural resources such as fossil fuels. humans are using fossil fuels at a rapid rate and scientists believe that one day we will run out of them. to solve this problem, research has been conducted on alternative energy sources. one alternative energy source is nuclear energy. although nuclear energy is a good solution to this problem, there are concerns.

all but one of these describe a concern about nuclear energy.
a) presence of radioactive waste
b) little if any carbon emissions released into the air
c) contamination risk when transporting radioactive materials
d) thermal pollution from water released into nearby environment

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?

For the reaction c6h14(g) & longrightarrow; c6h6(g) + 4h2(g), δp(h2)/δt was found to be 2.5 x 10-2 atm/s, where δp(h2) is the change in pressure of hydrogen. determine δp(c6h14)/δt for this reaction at the same time.
