Chloroform is a liquid that is not soluble in water. It has a density of 1.498g/mL. Astudent mixed a sample of chloroform and a sample water and observed the result. Sketch what the student saw, and identify all components of the drawing. for a container, draw a test tube.
You have two immiscible liquids, one floating on top of the other.
To sketch what the student observed, we will draw a test tube, representing the container. Inside the test tube, we will have two distinct layers – one layer for water and another layer for chloroform.
Here is a step-by-step guide to sketching what the student saw:
1. Start by drawing a vertical rectangle to represent the test tube.
2. At the bottom of the test tube, draw a wavy line to represent the chloroform layer. The line should be higher up the test tube than the water layer, as chloroform has a higher density than water.
3. Above the chloroform layer, draw another wavy line to represent the water layer. The water layer should be below the top of the test tube.
4. Label the chloroform layer as "Chloroform" and the water layer as "Water."
The resulting sketch will show two distinct layers – one of chloroform at the bottom and one of water above it.
Remember, chloroform is not soluble in water, so it will settle at the bottom of the container because of its higher density.
