is phenol soluble in ethanoic acid?

if yes, is it more soluble than water?

Not sure about it's solubility in Ethanoic acid.

But, Phenol is moderately soluble in water - about 8 g of phenol will dissolve in 100 g of water.

If you try to dissolve more than this, you get two layers of liquid. The top layer is a solution of phenol in water, and the bottom one a solution of water in phenol. The solubility behaviour of phenol and water is complicated, and beyond A level.

Phenol is somewhat soluble in water because of its ability to form hydrogen bonds with the water.

I m not really sure but, as far as i know, Raoult's Law is not required by our new Edexcel GCE Chemistry specification.

If u hav a marking scheme for this question, just hav a look at the answer for this question.

Edexcel Unit 4 Acid and Base Equilibrium Question. => Tomorrow's MY Mock Exam !

Sometimes the concentration of the acid and base are NOT 1:1 and in such cases I don't know how to figure out the Equivalence Vloume.

Example :

when 0.20 M NaOH reacts with 0.10 M of Ch3COOH. the acid is 20 cm3 , Why does the Equivalence Volume is equal to 10 cm3 , why is it NOT 40 cm3 ?

if the ratio is 1 : 1 as in 0.1 M of NaOH and 0.1 M of Ch3COOH (volume of acid is 25 cm3 ) then equivalence Volume is 25 cm3 cuz they are 1:1 , same concentration that is.

My teacher said he'll make the concentrations different to trick us so I NEED ot know this BEFORE tomorrow since my exams is Tomorrow so PLEASE Help !

I'm asking this Question cuz I ALWAYS get the equivalence Volume WRONG when I draw the Titration Curve.

Thanks in Advance =D

[ I'll check this in a few hours from now cuz I need to study the rest of the Topics ]

Each titration curve is different.

The ratio of 1:1 is for strong acid and strong base.

Weak acid and strong base or weak base and strong acid will have a different curve therefore a different equivalence point.

Aren't they explained in the textbook ? :-\

I understand this fully Alhamdulilah =]

What I don't understand is how to determine the Equivalence Volume.

just like in the examples I gave =]

Its been drilled into our heads that even if the volumes are in a ratio of 1:1 but the concentration of the acid is double the concentration of the base, then the equivalence volume is halved.

As for your question, try using C1V1=C2V2.

(Concentration * Volume)acid=(Concentration * Volume)base

No problem.

But are you sure? Even if your teacher hasn't taught you about it?

Yup , Well I'll try calling my friend now so that I can find an alternative but if I can't then well that's the only solution I guess  :-X :)

Honey, you see the titration curve, yes ?

Take the midpoint of the straight line. A horizontal line should be drawn to that midpoint to obtain the equivalence point.

Did you get it now ? (:
