The methyl salicylate (wintergreen oil) is the methyl ester of salicylic acid.
Methyl salicylate is produced by esterifying salicylic acid with methanol, the reaction scheme is attached to this answer. In the past, it was commonly distilled from the twigs of Betula lenta (sweet birch) and Gaultheria procumbens (eastern teaberry or wintergreen).
The conversions that will be used are:
1 mole of copper / 63.5 grams of copper
6.02 x 10²³ atoms of copper / 1 mole of copper
Multiplying the given mass by these conversions,
660 g * (1 mol Cu / 63.5 g Cu) * (6.02 x 10²³ Cu atoms / 1 mole Cu)
The sample contains 6.25 x 10²⁴ atoms of copper
Answer:
B. Household ammonia.
Explanation:
NH₃ is a base, so the solution always will be basic.
NH₃ takes the proton from the water. In conclusion we have free OH⁻ in medium, that's why the solution is basic.
NH₃ + H₂O → NH₄⁺ + OH⁻
- HCl + H₂O → H₃O⁺ + Cl⁻
This reaction makes an acid solution, cause the H₃O⁺
- Vinegar is a compound made of acetic acid.
CH₃COOH + H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + CH₃COO⁻
This reaction also makes an acid solution, cause the H₃O⁺
- Pure water makes neutral solution. It is not acid, neither basic.
2H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + OH⁻
We add up all the various atoms:
C: 55
H: 72
Mg: 1
N: 4
O: 5
55 + 72 + 1 + 4 + 5
= 137
The answer is B.
