How do I know where hexane and toluene fractions are collected in a distillation?
Q. For my chem lab report, I have to graph temperature versus volume for a distillation. The question is, where on the graph would the hexane and toluene fractions be collected? I don't know. How can I tell?

A. hexane and toulene fractions come under different temperature of their boiling point!!! and the vary in volume too according to their crude feed. so using the temperature u can find the fraction!!!

What type of intermolecular forces operate for hexane and water individually?
Q. What type of intermolecular forces operate for hexane and water individually? When they are mixed are there stronger or weaker forces operating between the two components of the mixture than within each pure liquid? And which operate for 1-butanol and water, and acetone and water.

A. Hexane C6H14 - has London dispersion forces Water-H2O has hydrogen bonds when hexane and water are mixed the intermolecular force is weak London dispersion forces When 1-butanol and water are mixed the intermolecular force is H-bonding( both have -OH groups) When acetone and water are mixed the intermolecular force is dipole-dipole attraction

What happens when hexane is ignited in an evaporating basin?
Q. What happens when you add bromine water to hexane? What is the reaction type for the reaction with bromine? Also what would happen if you did the same experiments with cyclohexane? Please help! Thanks =)
Asked by Janey - Wed May 27 09:32:04 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. This is a topic in organic chemistry under qualitative analysis of organic compounds. Hexane is a good example of saturated hydrocarbon which means that all carbons have either four or three hydrogens bonded to them and there are no double bonds, triple bonds or rings. Saturated hydrocarbons are also grouped together because they react more or less the same way. These two procedures (igniting and adding bromine water) that you've mentioned in fact tests for the unsaturation of compounds. The first one--called the ignition test (for unsaturation)--is where you ignite a substance in the evaporating dish and you observe the smoke above the flame. The darker or sootier the smoke, the more unsaturated the compound. On the other hand if… [cont.]

What are the molar extinction coefficient/ molar absorptivity values of Chlorophyll in hexane?
Q. Molar extinction coefficient/ Molar absorptivity are constants, depending on the absorbance, length of the cuvette and concentration. Am i right? Would it be affected by the solvent used for column chromatography? Any idea what are the values of the molar extinction coefficient of Chlorophyll (specifically Chlorophyll a and b in hexane) ?? Thanks!
Asked by mouldymou - Fri Aug 27 15:51:48 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The specific coefficient of extinction of chlorophyll a at 664 nm in 80 % acetone is 89,0 cm2/mg, the molar coefficient is 79,5 cm2/ mol. The given values may differ slightly in hexane. Constants are constant and not depending on path-length of the cuvette or concentration. Extinction depends on it not the coefficient.

A. it depends on the method you use to heat the materials. if you use a standard taper glassware set and a heating mantle with a lab jack, yes it is safe. if you use an open vessel (beaker, erlynmeyer, or florence flask) and an open flame (bunsen burner) then no, it is terribly dangerous.

When using hexane on a water sample to extract oil and grease-what techniques have the best recovery rate?
Q. why hexane? the epa requires it.
Asked by 13Mintcar - Thu Feb 28 19:08:38 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. EPA requires it because hexane is pretty clean and its relatively non-toxic. Recover rate depends on many factors. In general, multiple extractions usually work better than single large volume extractions. Meaning, rather than extracting with 60mL of hexane over your sample, using 20mL of hexane and extract samples 3 times usually works better. Also, the volume of hexane compared to the volume of sample/water is important as well. If you have a 100mL sample, extracting with 20mL of hexane 3 times probably won't give you a good recovery. I would use the same volume as the sample to extract or more. Next, what are other processes involved to determine the recovery rate? Is there a drying step involved? Sometimes the drying step can… [cont.]

Does potassium chloride or Iodine dissovle well in hexane?
Q. Which one dissolves better in hexane? Potassium Chloride or Iodine? why is that?
Asked by K P - Tue Apr 6 11:58:27 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Hexane is non-polar, and so is iodine, so iodine will dissolve in hexane. Potassium chloride is ionic, and highly polar. Since hexane is not polar, it will not dissociate the potassium and chloride ions in potassium chloride so the KCl will not dissolve. Hope this answers your question.

Asked by ask & I will answer - Mon May 11 10:17:56 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. hexane is what is known as an alkane .It has only C and H bonds and as such has no polar area of the molecule..it cannot form hydrogen bonds with water and thus cannot be hydrated.This means that it will be hydrophobic and have near zero solubility in water. Compare to diethyl ether C2H5-O-C2H5..although it is principally C-H bonds the one oxygen present can hydrogen bond with the OH of water thus..ether is weakly soluble in water ( ~ 2 % ). Contrast that to methanol, CH3OH, where the OH of the alcohol is very acitive in hydrogen bonding to water and to itself ..forming a highly structured hydration sphere with methanol in the core= highly soluble in water.

Asked by Katrin - Wed Feb 6 15:16:49 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Stable excess electrons have been recently observed in liquid hydrocarbons after suitable purification, but the mobilities indicated the existence of short-lived electron traps in the liquids. We have measured electron mobilities in mixtures of n-hexane and neopentane and find that the mobility is given accurately by an expression of the form = nexp(-xhE / kT), where xh is the mole fraction of hexane. It is concluded that the trap cannot be a negative-ion state of a single molecule, but is instead a collective trap involving several fluid molecules.
