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>

Identify the half reaction as oxidation or reduction.
topjm [15]
OILRIG:
Oxidation is loss (of electrons)
Reduction is gain (of electrons)
so...
The first one is an oxidation half-equation as the Sn loses electrons;
The second one is a reduction half-equation as the Cl₂ gains electrons

A. 6.07 x 10-15<br> How many significant figures are there in this equation
Harman [31]

Answer:

3

Explanation:

In scientific notation, the number of integers in the first part will always be the amount of significant figures.

For example,

1) 1.542505 x 10^17 =7 significant figures

1) 1.54 x 10^17 =3 significant figures
