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 .

Why is frying an egg an example of a chemical change
skelet666 [1.2K]
A Chemical change is any form of chemical reaction changing the state of the matter involved. When you fry an egg, you are making a reaction between the heat and the chemicals that make up the egg. Therefore once you have fried that egg, you have completed a chemical reaction. This is why it's a chemical change when you fry an egg.

Indicate what happens to the concentration of Pb2+ in each half cell
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Your questions requires diagrams of the cell to get which one is on the left or right. However, see the attached file below

The correct answer is (d) the left half-cell will decrease in concentration; and the right half-cell will increase in concentration.

Explanation:

The concentration of the Pb2+ increases in the oxidation half cell while the concentration of the Pb2+ decreases in the reduction half cell during the reaction.

In the Left Beaker (Left half cell), their is less concentration

Pb(s) ---> Pb2+(aq) + 2 e- Concentration of Pb2+(aq) increase ; Electrons going out from this side

In the Right Beaker (right half cell), their is more concentration

Pb2+(aq) + 2 e- ---> Pb(s) Concentration of Pb2+(aq) decrease ; Electrons coming in to this side

Electrons will flow from Left to Right direction.

The absolute temperature of a gas is increased four times while maintaining a constant volume. What happens to the
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

The pressure increases by a factor of four.

Explanation:

Let's consider a gas at a given temperature and pressure (T₁, P₁). The absolute temperature of a gas is increased four times (T₂ = 4 T₁) while maintaining a constant volume. We can assess the effect on the pressure (P₂) by using Gay Lussac's law.

P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂

P₂ = P₁ × T₂/T₁

P₂ = P₁ × 4 T₁/T₁

P₂ = 4 P₁

The pressure increases by a factor of four.

Bromine, a liquid at room temperature, has a boiling point of 58° C and a melting point of -7.2° C bromine can be classified as
katrin [286]
The answer to the chemistry question above would be pure substance. Bromine is classified as a pure substance because only the element is present and there are no other substances added or mixed with it. It is also not a compound because it does not come with another element.

Who arranged the elements according to atomic mass and used the arrangement to predict the properties of missing element?
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Dmitri Mendeleev

Explanation:

Dmitri Mendeleev a Russian Chemist arranged elements on the periodic table according to their atomic mass. He used this arrangement to predict some of the properties of the missing element.

  • Dmitri Mendeleev around 1869 described the periodic table.
  • The table was based on the periodic law which states that "chemical properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic weights".
  • In the Mendeleev table, elements are arranged by atomic weights with recurring properties in a periodic manner.
