Aspartame, phenylalanine, and aspartic acid were examined by thin‑layer chromatography (TLC) using ninhydrin as the visualization indicator. The presence of methanol was detected using permanganate test and ceric ammonium nitrate test. What methods should be used to promote a safe and efficient laboratory environment for this experiment?

Read these sentences from the text. near the equator, the tropics receive the most rain on a consistent basis. as a result, the fresh water falling into the ocean decrease the salinity of the surface water in that region. [. .] . . as the salt content of sea water increases, so does its density. what can you infer about how rain affects the density of surface water near the equator?

1. suppose a reaction mixture, when diluted with water, afforded 300 ml of an aqueous solution of 30 g of the reaction product malononitrile [ch2(cn)2], which is to be isolated by extraction with ether. the solubility of malononitrile in ether at room temperature is 20.0 g/100 ml, and in water is 13.3 g/100 ml. what weight of malononitrile would be recovered by extraction with (a) three 100-ml portions of ether and (b) one 300-ml portion of ether? suggestion: for each extraction, let x equal the weight extracted into the ether layer. in part (a), the concentration in the ether layer is x/100 and in the water layer is (30 x)/300; the ratio of these quantities is equal to k 20/13.3.

Describe what happens to the molecules as water goes from ice to liquid to vapor. be sure to explain what happens to the temperature during the phase changes.
