6 0

Concentrated phosphoric acid is added to the reaction mixture in the synthesis of aspirin to maintain the acidic environment and to keep the reagents protonated.

<h3>What is the phosphoric acid?</h3>

Phosphoric acid is an inorganic acid with the molecular H₃PO₄.

Its a triprotic acid which means that one molecule of the acid produces 3 molecules of hydrogen ions.

Phosphoric acid is important for many laboratory as well as industrial uses. It can be serve as buffer in living organisms.

It also used in the synthesis of aspirin.

The synthesis of aspirin requires an acidic environment. Therefore, concentrated phosphoric acid is added to the reaction mixture in the synthesis of aspirin to maintain the acidic environment and to keep the reagents protonated.

In conclusion, Phosphoric acid ensures an acidic environment in the synthesis of aspirin.

A nuclear reaction can be controlled using which of the following?
gavmur [86]

Control rods is regarded as a substance which can control nuclear reaction and is denoted as option A.

<h3>What is Nuclear reaction?</h3>

This is a type of reaction which involves the nuclei of an atom being split or joined together and is usually accompanied with a great amount of energy emitted in the form of heat.

The two types of nuclear reaction include:

  • Nuclear fusion
  • Nuclear fission

Nuclear fusion involves the collision of two or more nuclei in other form a new atom while nuclear fission involves splitting the atoms to form other products and involves a very high amount of energy and exposure to organisms should be prevented as the radiations can alter DNA.

Control rods are commonly used in nuclear reactors and control the rate of  fission in the fuel used. This is therefore the reason why it was chosen as the most appropriate choice.

Approximately 0.0972 g of carbon dioxide gas can be dissolved in 100 mL of water at 40°C expressed in terms of parts per million
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

972 ppm

Explanation:

Percent (parts per hundred - pph), parts per million & parts per billion are ratios of a component of interest divided by total mix of several components.

That is, given 28%, this says 28/100, or 28ppm says 28/10⁶, or 28ppb says 28/10⁹.

To convert from the given (=> any of the three concentration ratios) simply multiply (X) where you wish to go.

Examples:

  • Convert 35% to ppm and ppb
  • 35% = (35/100) x 10⁶ppm = 3.5 x 10⁵ ppm
  • _______________________________
  • Convert 43 ppm to %
  • 43 ppm = (43/10⁶) x 100% = 4.3 x 10³%
  • ______________________________
  • Convert 81 ppb to ppm
  • 81 ppb = (81/10⁹) x 10⁶ppm = 8.1 x 10⁻² ppm

Notice how each 'Given' is expressed as a ratio of amount/100 (given pph or %),  or amount/10⁶ (given ppm) or amount/10⁹ (given ppb). All you need to do here is multiply by where you want to go.

=> Given % = (amount/100) x 10⁶ => ppm

=> Given ppm = (amount/10⁶) x 100 => %, or pph

=> Given ppb = (amount/10⁹) x 10⁶ => ppm

Given ratio x 100 = %, or x 10⁶ => ppm or x 10⁹ => ppb

Your Problem:

Given = (0.0972g/100g) x 10⁶ppm = 972 ppm

or, if you wish ppb => (0.0972g/100g) x 10⁹ppb = 972,000 ppb

N2(g) + 3H2(g) →2NH3(g)
monitta

Answer:

2.5 moles of N₂ and 7.5 moles of H₂ entered the reaction

Explanation:

In reaction:

N₂(g) + 3 H₂(g) → 2 NH₃(g)

You can see that the stoichiometry of the reaction (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction) requires the following amounts of reagents and are produced:

  • N₂: 1 mole
  • H₂: 3 moles
  • NH₃: 2 moles

The following three rules can apply:

  • If 2 moles of NH₃ are produced from 1 mole of N₂ by stoichiometry of the reaction, 5 moles of NH₃ from how many moles of N₂ are produced?

moles of N_{2} =\frac{5 moles of NH_{3} *1 mole of N_{2} }{2 moles of NH_{3}}

moles of N₂= 2.5

  • If 2 moles of NH₃ are produced from 3 moles of H₂ by stoichiometry of the reaction, 5 moles of NH₃ from how many moles of H₂ are produced?

moles of H_{2} =\frac{5 moles of NH_{3} *3 mole of H_{2} }{2 moles of NH_{3}}

moles of H₂= 7.5

<u><em>2.5 moles of N₂ and 7.5 moles of H₂ entered the reaction</em></u>
