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 .

Answer:

Explanation:

HA(aq)+H2O(l)⟺H3O+(aq)+A−(aq)(1)

you need to solve for the Ka value. To do that you use

Ka=[H3O+][A−][HA](2)

Another necessary value is the pKa value, and that is obtained through pKa=−logKa

The procedure is very similar for weak bases. The general equation of a weak base is

BOH⟺B++OH−(3)

Solving for the Kbvalue is the same as the Ka value. You use the formula  

Kb=[B+][OH−][BOH](4)

The pKb value is found through pKb=−logKb  

The Kw value is found withKw=[H3O+][OH−].  

Kw=1.0×10−14(5)

What can be used to measure the ph of a substance
castortr0y [4]
The pH value can be measured using electrochemical measuring systems, litmus paper, or indicators and colorimeters. The easiest way to take a pH measurement is to use litmus paper or a colorimeter. The advantage of this type of pH measurement is that the pH range is well known and they are easy to apply.

Water difference between glacier and geyser
Gekata [30.6K]
Glaciers are found in areas where the net accumulation of snow exceeds the melt, therefore they are usually found in areas of high elevation, cold temperatures, and high precipitation.

Geysers are found in areas of shallow crust with high heat flow, such as hot spots.
