The balanced reaction would be written as:
<span>
C7H6O3 + C4H6O3--->C9H8O4 + HC2H3O2

To determine the percent yield, we need to first determine the theoretical yield if the reaction were to proceed completely. Then, we divide the actual yield that is given to the theoretical yield times 100 percent. The limiting reactant from the reaction would be salicylic acid. We do as follows: 

<span>Theoretical yield: 50.05 g C7H6O3 ( 1 mol / 138.21 g ) ( 1 mol C9H8O4 / 1 mol C7H6O3 ) ( 180.157 g / mol ) = 65.24 g C9H8O4 should be produced

Percent yield = 55.45 / 65.24 x 100 = 84.99%
<span>
Therefore, the percent yield for the given amount of salicylic acid is 84.99%

Which one of the following best represents the predicted approximate chemical shift and coupling:
mezya [45]

Answer:

C. 3.40 ppm, singlet

Explanation:

Given the information from the question .we have to select the best representation for represents the predicted approximate chemical shift and coupling for hydrogen(s). In this case, there is no neighboring hydrogen .Thus there won’t be any split .the best option answer is C. 3.40 ppm, singlet . Therefore the correct answer or option is C. 3.40 ppm, singlet.

In the haber process, ammonia is synthesized from nitrogen and hydrogen: n2 (g) + 3h2 (g) → 2nh3 (g) δg° at 298 k for this react
allsm [11]

Answer:

e- 7.25 x 10³.

Explanation:

∵ ΔG = -RTlnK,

where, ΔG is the free energy change.

R is the general gas constant (R = 8.324 J/mol.K).

K is the equilibrium constant of the reaction.

  • For the reaction: <em>N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) → 2NH₃(g),</em>

K = (PNH₃)²/(PN₂)(PH₂)³ = (0.65)²/(1.9)(1.6)³ = 5.43 x 10⁻².

∵ ΔG = -RTlnK.

∴ ΔG = -(8.314 J/mol.K)(298 K) ln(5.43 x 10⁻²) = 7.218 x 10³ J/mol.

The law of conservation of matter states that matter can be neither created nor destroyed. Your friend shows you the following c
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

According to conservation of matter, there should be equal amounts of all elements on both the reactant and product side.

Reactant:

1 Ca

1 C

1 O

Product:

1 Ca

1 C

3 O

Therefore, your friend is right because the law of conservation of matter is not followed in this chemical equation.
