A 558 mg of a mixture of fluorene and benzoic acid was weighed out and subjected to an extraction and recrystallization. After this purification was completed the product crystals were dried and analyzed. The purification procedure produced 185 mg of fluorene and 144 mg of benzoic acid. Calculate the percent composition of this mixture.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Mass of mixture of  fluorene and benzoic acid = 558 mg

Mass of pure fluorene  after purification = 185 mg of fluorene

Mass of pure  benzoic acid after purification = 144 mg of benzoic acid

Percentage of fluorene int he mixture = 185mg/558mg * 100 = 33.15 %

Percentage of benzoic acid in the mixture = 144mg/558mg * 100 = 25.81 %

Percentage of impurities = 100% - [33.15 + 25.81]

Percentage of impurities = 100 - 58.96

Percentage of impurities = 41.04 %
