Predict the boiling points of the following compounds at the pressure indicated.
  (a) water at 745 mm Hg
  (b) dichloromethane (bp 40 at 760 mm) at 737 mm
  (c) benzene (bp 80 at 760 mm) at 765 mm



Question 2

A chemist has a small amount of a compound (bp 65) that must be fractionally distilled, yet
  the chemist does not want to lose any of the compound to holdup on the column. What can the
  chemist do?

Answer to Question 1

(a) bp = 100  (0.5/(10 mm x 15 mm) = 99.25, or about 99
(b) 39.85, or about 40
(c) 80.25, or about 80



Answer to Question 2

One way to distill a small amount of compound is to add a chaser, a high-boiling compound
whose vapors will displace the vapors of the desired low-boiling compound. Otherwise, a
smaller fractionation apparatus or a Vigreux column could be used.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
