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%

What do you think explains why the larger elements are able to form in a supernova explosion? Use evidence from the Supernova 10
lubasha [3.4K]

Larger elements are able to form in a supernova explosion because the star releases very large amounts of energy as well as neutrons, which allows elements heavier than iron to be produced.

<h3>What is Supernova?</h3>

This is referred to the explosion of a star and it resulting in larger elements being formed through a process known as nucleosynthesis and is usually accompanied by an increase in the brightness of the star.

The elements produced are usually larger than elements such as iron and examples include uranium, gold etc.

This is therefore the reason why it was chosen as the most appropriate choice.

Explain what makes one mineral so precious or costly compared to another.
ValentinkaMS [17]
There are multiple factors that contribute to the cost of a mineral. First of all is the demand or application, which will be related to its physical properties. For example, nontarnishing metals like gold are held in high value for their appearance. Second is the supply of the mineral, those that only have a small quantity in the earth's crust are likely to be more expensive. Third is the cost of extraction and manufacturing. Some minerals may be abundantly found, but may be distributed over a wide area, meaning that it is still expensive to mine and transport.
