True or False: It is OK to use wet glassware for the aspirin synthesis without potentially affecting your yield

Chemistry
1 answer:
vesna_86 [32]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Laboratory synthesis of aspirin is done by the acetylation of salicylic acid with the help of acetic anhydride .

As , the  acid anhydride is very sensitive to moisture , as it can hydrolyze into two molecules of  acids,

Hence , the reaction involving acid anhydride  are conducted in anhydrous solvents .

Hence ,

if water is  present in the glassware then , some of the acetic anhydride is wasted , Which in turns reduces the yield than that expected .

Pb(CH3COO)2 + H2S --> PbS + CH3COOH 1. How many moles are produced of PbS when 5.00 grams of Pb(CH3COO)2 is reacted with H2S?
shutvik [7]

Answer:

1. 0.0154mole of PbS

2. Double displacement reaction

Explanation:

First, let write a balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

Pb(CH3COO)2 + H2S —> PbS + 2 CH3COOH

Molar Mass of Pb(CH3COO)2 = 207 + 2(12 + 3 + 12 + 16 +16) = 207 + 2(59) = 207 + 118 = 325g

Mass of Pb(CH3COO)2 = 5g

Number of mole = Mass /Molar Mass

Number of mole of Pb(CH3COO)2 = 5/325 = 0.0154mole

From the equation,

1mole of Pb(CH3COO)2 produced 1mole of PbS.

Therefore, 0.0154mole of Pb(CH3COO)2 will also produce 0.0154mole of PbS

2. The name of the reaction is double displacement reaction since the ions in the two reactants interchange to form two different products

What is the ionic compound of Na^+ and CO3^2-
maksim [4K]

To find the chemical formula of an ionic compound, the first step is to find the charge of the 2 ions. As given already, the charge of sodium ion is 1+, and carbonate ion has a charge of 2-. We can picture it like that: Sodium ion loses 1 electron and carbonate ion gains 2.

The next step is to find how the 2 ions can lose and gain electrons equally. In this case, since each Na ion only loses 1 electron, it cannot satisfy the need of one carbonate ion, since they need 2, not 1. Therefore, 2 Na ions can cover the need of one carbonate ion. So, the ratio of Na to CO3 ion should be 2:1.

Now just combine the 2 ions, positive one at the front, which makes it NaCO3, make sure you do not add the charge and notice that CO3 is a molecule itself so do not remove the 3. Now because the ratio is 2:1, so the final formula is Na2CO3, no need to add 1 if the ratio is 1.

Your answer should be Na2CO3.
