Of the two values provided by the quadratic formula, only one has physical meaning and can usually be chosen easily. Keep in mind that the value of x is substituted back into the third line (3) in the table. Since 4.4 cannot be subtracted from 3 (look at the alcohol column) and give us an amount that makes sense, 0.9 is the value we must use. So, the answer to the original question is 0.9 mol ester produced. 

Alkenes and alkynes obviously don t fit easily into these categories as they have no bonds to heteroatoms. Aikenes can be made from alcohols by dehydration without any oxidation or reduction so it seems sensible to put them in the alcohol column. Similarly, alkynes and aldehydes are related by hydration/dehydration without oxidation or reduction. 

Alternative LC methods in the separation of NPEO resulting in a separation based on EO number include the use of an alumina column using an ethylene oxide-n-hexane mixture as mobile phase [37], of a cyanosilica column and a mobile phase gradient of toluene and a 10 88 2 mixture of 0.5 mmol/1 sodium acetate in toluene, methanol, and water [38], and of a poly(vinyl alcohol) column and 10-55% acetonitrile in 30 mmol/1 aqueous ammonium acetate as mobile phase [39]. Ion-pair LC-MS, using 5 mmol/1 triethylamine in the mobile phase, was applied in the analysis of phenols and NPEC [33].

A few articles are concerned with the simultaneous separation of phospholipids and glycolipids." The poly(vinyl alcohol) column gave excellent results. However, complex mobile phases were needed.

I will also cite the small snrfaces which top the mercury column and the alcohol column respectively in Rntherford s maximnm and minimum thermometer. These surfaces being very small, the action of gravity on their form can be regarded as negligible also that of mercnry appreciably constitntes a convex segment of a sphere, and that of alcohol a concave half sphere. However, as pointed out by Mr. Duprez , it is the stability of the latter which is the true cause of the retreat of the enamel pointer when the temperature drops, and I will add that it is also to the stability of the end surface of the mercury that it is necessary to attribnte its action to advance the steel pointer when the temperatnre rises. 

CJH4O5, H02CCH(0H)C02H. Colourless crystals with IH O lost at 60 C. M.p. IhO C (decomp.). Prepared by heating dinitrotartaric acid in aqueous alcohol, taurine, aminoethylsulpbonic acid, C2H7NO3S, NHj CHj CH SOjH. Crystallizes in columns, decomposing at 317 C. In combination with cholic acid it forms one of the bile acids. It is formed in the liver from cysteine. 

Selection of solvents. The choice of solvent will naturally depend in the first place upon the solubility relations of the substance. If this is already in solution, for example, as an extract, it is usually evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure and then dissolved in a suitable medium the solution must be dilute since crystallisation in the column must be avoided. The solvents generally employed possess boiling points between 40° and 85°. The most widely used medium is light petroleum (b.p. not above 80°) others are cycZohexane, carbon disulphide, benzene, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, methylene chloride, ethyl acetate, ethyl alcohol, acetone, ether and acetic acid. 

Reference has already been made to the choice of solvent for introducing the mixture to the column. Generally speaking, adsorption takes place most readily from non-polar solvents, such as petroleum ether or benzene, and least from highly polar solvents such as alcohols, esters and pyridine. Frequently the solvent for introducing the mixture to the column and the developer are so chosen that the same solvent serves the dual purpose. 

The ethyl alcohol is easily removed from the excess of ester by distillation through a short column. 

Pure pyridine may be prepared from technical coal-tar pyridine in the following manner. The technical pyridine is first dried over solid sodium hydroxide, distilled through an efficient fractionating column, and the fraction, b.p. 114 116° collected. Four hundred ml. of the redistilled p)rridine are added to a reagent prepared by dissolving 340 g. of anhydrous zinc chloride in a mixture of 210 ml. of concentrated hydrochloric acid and 1 litre of absolute ethyl alcohol. A crystalline precipitate of an addition compound (probable composition 2C5H5N,ZnCl2,HCl ) separates and some heat is evolved. When cold, this is collected by suction filtration and washed with a little absolute ethyl alcohol. The yield is about 680 g. It is recrystaUised from absolute ethyl alcohol to a constant m.p. (151-8°). The base is liberated by the addition of excess of concentrated... 

Reflux a mixture of 68 g. of anhydrous zinc chloride (e.g., sticks), 40 ml. (47 -5 g.) of concentrated hydrochloric acid and 18-5 g. (23 ml.) of sec.-butyl alcohol (b.p. 99-100°) in the apparatus of Fig. 777, 25, 1 for 2 hours. Distil oflF the crude chloride untU the temperature rises to 100°. Separate the upper layer of the distillate, wash it successively with water, 5 per cent, sodium hydroxide solution and water dry with anhydrous calcium chloride. Distil through a short column or from a Claisen flask with fractionating side arm, and collect the fraction of b.p. 67-70° some high boiling point material remains in the flask. Redistil and collect the pure cc. butyl chloride at 67-69°. The yield is 15 g. 

Allyl Bromide. Introduce into a 1-litre three-necked flask 250 g. (169 ml.) of 48 per cent, hydrobromic acid and then 75 g. (40-5 ml.) of concentrated sulphuric acid in portions, with shaking Anally add 58 g. (68 ml.) of pure allyl alcohol (Section 111,140). Fit the flask with a separatory funnel, a mechanical stirrer and an efficient condenser (preferably of the double surface type) set for downward distillation connect the flask to the condenser by a wide (6-8 mm.) bent tube. Place 75 g. (40 5 ml.) of concentrated sulphuric acid in the separatory funnel, set the stirrer in motion, and allow the acid to flow slowly into the warm solution. The allyl bromide will distil over (< 30 minutes). Wash the distillate with 5 per cent, sodium carbonate solution, followed by water, dry over anhydrous calcium chloride, and distil from a Claisen flask with a fractionating side arm or through a short column. The yield of allyl bromide, b.p. 69-72°, is 112 g. There is a small high-boiling fraction containing propylene dibromide. 

By the controlled oxidation of primary alcohols with a solution of potassium or sodium dichromate in dilute sulphuric acid. To avoid the further oxidation to the corresponding acid, the aldehyde is removed as rapidly as possible by distillation through a fractionating column, for example ... 

Propionaldehyde. Use 34 g. (42-6 ml.) of n propyl alcohol, and a solution containing 56 g. of sodium chromate dihydrate, 300 ml. of water and 40 ml. of concentrated sulphuric acid. The experimental details are identical with those for n-butyraldehyde, except that the addition of the dichromate solution occupies 20 minutes, the temperature at the top of the column is not allowed to rise above 70-75°, and during the subsequent heating for 15 minutes the liquid passing over below 80° is collected the receiver must be cooled in ice. The yield of propionaldehyde, b.p. 47-50°, is 12 g. 

Carry out a second run with the recovered chloroform-alcohol mixture (A) add 100 g. of dry chloroform and sufficient super-dry ethyl alcohol (200-250 ml.) to give a total volume of 750 ml. Add 52 g. of sodium as before. Remove the excess of chloroform and attohol as before on a water bath through a fractionating column, add the intermediate fraction (B) from the first run, and fractionate again. The yield of product b.p. 144-146°, is 45 g. 

Place 50 g. of anhydrous calcium chloride and 260 g. (323 ml.) of rectified spirit (95 per cent, ethyl alcohol) in a 1-litre narrow neck bottle, and cool the mixture to 8° or below by immersion in ice water. Introduce slowly 125 g. (155 ml.) of freshly distilled acetaldehyde, b.p. 20-22° (Section 111,65) down the sides of the bottle so that it forms a layer on the alcoholic solution. Close the bottle with a tightly fitting cork and shake vigorously for 3-4 minutes a considerable rise in temperature occurs so that the stopper must be held well down to prevent the volatilisation of the acetaldehyde. Allow the stoppered bottle to stand for 24-30 hours with intermittent shaking. (After 1-2 hours the mixture separates into two layers.) Separate the upper layer ca. 320 g.) and wash it three times with 80 ml. portions of water. Dry for several hours over 6 g. of anhydrous potassium carbonate and fractionate with an efficient column (compare Section 11,17). Collect the fraction, b.p. 101-104°, as pure acetal. The yield is 200 g. 

Fit a 750 ml. round-bottomed flask with a fractionating column attached to a condenser set for downward distillation. Place 500 g. of diacetone alcohol (the crude product is quite satisfactory), 01 g. of iodine and a few fragments of porous porcelain in the flask. Distil slowly. with a small free flame (best in an air bath) and collect the following fractions (a) 56-80° (acetone and a little mesityl oxide) (6) 80-126° (two layers, water and mesityl oxide) and (c) 126-131° (mesityl oxide). Whilst fraction (c) is distilling, separate the water from fraction (6), dry with anhydrous potassium carbonate or anhydrous magnesium sulphate, and fractionate from a small flask collect the mesityl oxide at 126-131°. The yield is about 400 g.
