Oliga [24]2 years ago
5 0

Chemical process is responsible for the smell of vinegar in an old bottle of aspirin is Hydrolysis of ester i.e. Aspirin.

Aspirin reacts with water leading to the formation of Acetic acid which is a Carboxylic acid derivative.

Aspirin on Hydrolysis forms Acetic acid and Salicylic acid.

The reaction shows up as a fizz when aspirin is added in water.

Aspirin is called Acetyl Salicylic acid and it helps to reduce:

  • Inflammation
  • Pain
  • Fever
  • Headache
  • Arthritis
  • Muscle pain
  • Tooth pain

Acetic acid or Ethanoic acid is a colorless liquid. It is an important carboxylic acid. It smells like vinegar.

Acetic acid is used for production of following:

  • Vinyl Acetate
  • Insecticides
  • Rubber
  • Acetic anhydride

Salicylic acid is a bitter compound which is colorless. It reduces acne and opens up the skin pores.

part  1  sodium  and  rubidium  have  the  same  properties  with  potassium.  this  is  because sodium, potassium, and  rubidium  are  in  the  same  column that is  they  are  all  in  group  one  of  periodic  table. all  are  alkali  metals  hence  have  the  same  properties.

part  two
magnesium  have  12  neutrons,  12  protons  and  12  electrons
from  periodic  table  the  magnesium  is  atomic  number  12  and  has  a mass number of  24.305
The  atomic  number  is  equal  to  number  of  protons that   is 12
protons  value is  the  same  as  electron  value  hence  the  number  of  electron  are  also 12
 mass number
=protons +neutrons  hence  
Neutron=mass number-number  of  protons  that  is  24.035-12=12  which  is  equal  to  12  neutrons

Stels [109]

Answer:

Total Ionic equation:

H₂²⁺(aq) + O₂²⁻(aq) + Mg²⁺(aq) + SO₃²⁻(aq)   →   Mg²⁺(aq)+SO²⁻₄(aq) + H₂O(l)

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

H₂O₂(aq) + MgSO₃(aq)   →   MgSO₄(aq) + H₂O(l)

Balanced chemical equation:

H₂O₂(aq) + MgSO₃(aq)   →   MgSO₄(aq) + H₂O(l)

Total Ionic equation:

H₂²⁺(aq) + O₂²⁻(aq) + Mg²⁺(aq) + SO₃²⁻(aq)   →   Mg²⁺(aq)+SO²⁻₄(aq) + H₂O(l)

Water can not split into ions because it is present is liquid form.

What method is used to separate the oxygen from mercury oxide
yanalaym [24]

The method used to separate oxygen from mercury oxide is by strong heating. In the lab mercury oxide is placed in strong glass test tube and strong heat applied to the test tube. Mercury oxide then undergoes a decomposition reaction to produce mecury and oxygen.

Antoine Lavoisier , the father of modern chemistry is the one credited as having proved the decomposition of mercuric oxide  by heating, and that the result was production of mercury and oxygen.

A decomposition reaction is a reaction in which  a compound breaks down into two or more simpler substances.

stira [4]

Answer: Both (a) and (b)

Explanation:

Lipids are heterogeneous group of compounds of biochemical importance. Lipids may be defined as compounds which are relatively insoluble in water and are concentrated of energy source.

Fatty acids are aliphatic carboxylic acids and have the general formula, R-COOH, where COOH is the functional group and R group are hydrocarbon chain.

The structure of fat contains lot of C-C and C-H bonds and there are lot of calories, and therefore energy is packed into thier chemical structure.

Despite fat contains glycerol polar group, the long chains of hydrocarbon which are non polar makes fats insoluble in water.
