Pre-Laboratory Questions

1. Predict which samples in the experiment will be soluble/miscible in the solvents that will be used. What
is the basis of their solubility/miscibility?

}
CuSO4 crystals is soluble in water....
NaOH pellets is soluble in water......
ethanol in is soluble water..... all samples except hexane is soluble in water
Acetaldehyde is soluble in water.....
Acetic acid is soluble in water.....
hexane when mixed with benzene is soluble with each other....
ethanol is soluble in benzene......
Acetaldehyde is soluble in benzene.....
acetic acid is soluble in benzene

2. What is the role of phenolphthalein in the neutralization reaction? Draw the structure of phenolphthalein
under acidic and basic conditions.
the role of phenolphthalein in neutralization reaction is to give color if its basic and gives no
color if its acid

3. What are the expected results for the reactions: (a) CuSO4 with iron, (b) KMnO4 with ethanol, and (c)
KMnO4 with acetaldehyde? Write the chemical equation of the reactions, and identify which substance is
reduced and which is oxidized.
