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 .

Ice floats on water. For most other substances, however, the solid sinks in the liquid. Classify each of these statements based

sattari [20]

Answer:

1.High pressure will cause the liquid to become solid :

Describe both water and other substances

2.High pressure will cause the solid to become liquid :

It describe none : neither water nor other substances 

This statement is :False for both water and other substances

3.The solid is more dense than the liquid :

It describe other substance

This statement is :False for water but true for other substances.

4. In a phase diagram, the solid-liquid coexistence line has a negative slope.

It describes water:

This statement is :True for water because solid ice is less dense than liquid water.

False for other substance, they have positive slope

5.The molecules are closest in the liquid phase.

This statement is :False for water and other substances

6.The solid is less dense than the liquid:

It Describes water because ice is less dense than liquid water

7. In a phase diagram, the solid-liquid coexistence line has a positive slope.

It describe other substances

This statement is :True for other substances but false for water

8. The molecules are closest in the solid phase :

Describes both water and other substances

Explanation:

Answers to statement 1 , 2,5 and 8

Answers to statement 1 , 2

On increasing pressure and decreasing temperature , There occur Phase transition always for every substance :

From liquid to solid and gas to liquid

Hence,

In Both for water and other substance

High pressure will cause the liquid to become solid.

Answers to statement 5,8 :

2.The Particles of solid are closely packed hence there is maximum force of attraction between the particle of solid as compared to liquid and gases .

Hence , The molecules of both water and other substances are closest in the solid phase

This also means that in liquid molecules are far apart .

Rest statement : 3, 4 ,6 ,7 are explained below(see attached image)

The molecules are closest in the liquid phase is false statement and does not describe both water and other substance

Ice floats on water. For most other substances, however, the solid sinks in the liquid.

This can be explained using the phase diagram of water :

The line DB is = the solid-liquid coexistence line

It has negative slope because , solid ice is less dense than liquid water . That is why ice floats on water because its density is less than water

Hence Water is described truly by statement 4,6, which are :

4. the solid-liquid coexistence line has a negative slope.

6.The solid is less dense than the liquid.

Rest 3,7 = describe by other substance

other substance : Solid is more dense than the liquid ,the solid-liquid coexistence line has a positive slope

How does the process of cellular respiration create energy?

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

well, through the process of cellular respiration, the energy in food is converted into energy that can be used by the body's cells. During cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen are converted into carbon dioxide and water, and the energy is transferred to ATP

For the following reaction, 22.6 grams of nitrogen monoxide are allowed to react with 4.64 grams of hydrogen gas . nitrogen mono

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

- 10.5 g of N₂

- Limiting reagent: NO

- 3.13 g of H₂ remains

Explanation:

First of all we state the reaction: 2NO(g) + 2H₂(g) → 2H₂O(l) + N₂(g)

We need to find out the limiting reactant and the excess reagent

Ratio in the reactants is 2:2. Let's convert the mass to moles:

22.6 g / 30 g/mol = 0.753 moles of NO

4.64 g / 2 g/mol = 2.32 moles of H₂

Certainly the limiting reagent is the NO and the excess reactant is the hydrogen:

- For 0.753 moles of NO, we need 0.753 moles of H₂ (we have 2.32 moles)

- For 2.32 moles of H₂, we need 2.32 moles of NO (and we don't have enough NO, because we only have 0.753 moles)

As the H₂ is the excess reagent, some moles still remains after the reaction is complete → 2.32 mol - 0.753 mol = 1.567 moles

We convert the moles to mass: 1.567 mol . 2g /1mol = 3.13 g of H₂ remains

As the NO is the limiting reagent, we can work with the equation:

We propose this rule of three: 2 moles of NO can produce 1 mol of N₂

Then, 0.753 moles of NO must produce (0.753 . 1) /2 = 0.376 moles of N₂

We convert the moles to mass 0.376 mol . 28 g / 1 mol = 10.5 g
