Acetylsalicylic acid is the active ingredient in aspirin. It took 35.17 mL of 0.5065 M sodium hydroxide to react completely with

3.210 g of acetylsalicylic acid. Acetylsalicylic acid has one acidic hydrogen. What is the molar mass of acetylsalicylic acid?

Answer:

the molar mass of Acetylsalicylic acid is 180.2 g.

Explanation:

Knowing that Acetylsalicylic acid (AA-H) has one acidic proton, we can write the equation for the reaction with NaOH as follows:

AA-<u>H </u>+ NaOH → AA-Na + H₂O (underlined is the acidic proton)

From the equation, we know that 1 mol NaOH reacts with 1 mol AA-H.

The moles of NaOH that react with AA-H can be calculated using the data provided by the problem since we have the volume and the concentration of the NaOH used:

mol NaOH = V * C  where V = volume and C = concentration.

The molar concentration (M) is the number of moles present in 1 liter solution, then, the NaOH solution used has 0.5065 mol NaOH in 1000 ml.

The moles of NaOH used in the reaction can be calculated this way:

mol NaOH = 35.17 ml * (0.5065 mol / 1000 ml) = 0.01781 mol

Then, because 1 mol NaOH reacts with 1 mol AA-H, there must be 0.01781 mol AA-H that react with 0.01781 mol NaOH.

This number of mol of AA-H has a mass of 3.210 g according to the information provided by the problem. Then the mass of a single mol (the molar mass) must be:

molar mass = 1 mol * 3.210 g / 0.01781 mol = <u>180.2 g</u>

Katyanochek1 [597]
The equation you use here is
mass =moles x Mr

So:
Moles of K - 0.55mol
Mr of K - 39.1

Mass= 0.55x39.1 =21.505g

Which coefficient before potassium (K) balances this chemical equation?
miskamm [114]

Answer:

The coefficient before potassium (K) balances this chemical equation is 2.

Explanation:

_K +Cl₂ → 2KCl

K =1 ; Cl =2

K=1 × 2 = 2

Cl = 1 × 2 = 2

2 K +Cl₂ = 2 KCl

An unknown gas effuses at one half the speed of oxygen. What is the molar mass of the unknown? It is either HBr or HI. Which gas
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

HI.

Explanation:

  • Thomas Graham found that, at a constant  temperature and pressure the rates of effusion  of various gases are inversely proportional to  the square root of their masses.

Rate of effusion ∝ 1/√molar mass.

  • <em>(Rate of effusion of O₂) / (Rate of effusion of unknown gas) = (√molar mass of unknown gas) / (√molar mass of O₂).</em>
  • An unknown gas effuses at one half the speed of that of oxygen.

∵ Rate of effusion of unknown gas = 1/2 (Rate of effusion of O₂)

∴ (Rate of effusion of O₂) / (Rate of effusion of unknown gas) = 2.

Molar mass of O₂ = 32.0 g/mol.

∵ (Rate of effusion of O₂) / (Rate of effusion of unknown gas) = (√molar mass of unknown gas) / (√molar mass of O₂).

∴  2.0 = (√molar mass of unknown gas) / √32.0.

( √molar mass of unknown gas) = 2.0 x √32.0

By squaring the both sides:

∴ molar mass of unknown gas = (2.0 x √32.0)² = 128 g/mol.

∴ The molar mass of sulfur dioxide = 80.91 g/mol and the molar mass of HI = 127.911 g/mol.

<em>So, the unknown gas is HI.</em>
