The theoretical yield of aspirin is <u>1.23 g</u>

Aspirin is a common drug with many uses. It relieves pain and reduces the risk of serious problems such as heart attack and stroke. It comes in many forms, including:

It is important to remember that aspirin alone does not lower blood pressure. However, its ability to thin the blood may benefit some people with high blood pressure.

moles of salicylic acid = mass / molar mass

=> 0.9457 / 138.2 = <u>0.006843 mol</u>

Acetic anhydride is in excess. Thus salicylic acid is the limiting reactant.

Total moles of aspirin that can form = moles of salicylic acid = 0.006843

mass of aspirin = number of moles of aspirin x molar mass of aspirin

= 0.006843 mol x 180.16g/mol = 1.23g

Thus theoretical yield of aspirin = 1.23 g

Find the percent composition of each element in KMnO4
VARVARA [1.3K]
The way you want to find the percent composition would be by breaking down the problem like so:

K= atomic mass of K which is 39.098
Mn = atomic mass of Mn which is 54.938
O= atomic mass of o which is 15.999

Then you want to add 39.098+ 54.938+ 15.999 and you get 110.035 which is the molar mass for KMnO

Then you want to take each molar mass and then divide it 110.035 and multiply by 100

Ex. K = 39.098/ 110.035 and the multiply what you get by a 100

You do this for the other elements as well good luck!

The half life for the decay of radium is 1620 years what is the rate constant
Lilit [14]
Decay is a type of degradation reaction and thus is considered a first order reaction. thus the formula goes like this.
 
rate constant= 0.693/half life

so here...

rate constant= 0.693/1620 year^-1

When the temperature of an object changes by 10 °C the same temperature change in Kelvins would be
kumpel [21]
The answer to this question would be: <span> 10 °K

Kelvin and Celcius scales are different by 273</span> degrees but their ratio is the same. One degree in Kelvin is equal to one degree in Celcius. That mean,  10 °C change in Celcius would be same as <span> 10 °K changes in Kelvin too. </span>
