The number of molecules decrease
Answer:
6 grains
Explanation:
The equation of the reaction between NaOH and aspirin is;
C9H8O4(aq) + NaOH (aq) ------>C9H7O4Na(aq) + H2O(l)
Amount of NaOH reacted = concentration × volume = 0.1466 M × 14.40/1000 L = 2.11 × 10^-3 moles
Given that aspirin and NaOH react in a mole ratio of 1:1 from the balanced reaction equation above, the number of moles of aspirin reacted is 2.11 × 10^-3 moles
Hence mass of aspirin reacted = 2.11 × 10^-3 moles × 180.2 g/mol = 0.38 g
If 1 grain = 0.0648 g
x grains = 0.38 g
x= 0.38 g/0.0648 g
x= 6 grains
Answer:
2.03125g of acetylene
Explanation:
First thing's first, we have to write out the balanced chemical equation;
CaC2(s) + 2H2O(l) → Ca(OH)2(aq) + C2H2(g)
Water is in excess, so CAC2 is our limiting reactant. i.e it determines the amount of product that would be formed.
1 mol of CaC2 produces 1 mol of C2H2
In terms of mass;
Mass = Number of moles * Molar mass
where the molar mass of the elements are;
Ca = 40g/mol
C = 12g/mol
H = 1g/mol
CaC2 = 40+ (2*12) = 64g/mol
C2H2 =( 2 * 12) + ( 2 * 1) = 26g/mol
64g (1 * 64g/mol) of CaC2 produces 26g ( 1mol * 26g/mol) of C2H2
5g would produce x?
64 = 26
5 = x
Upon solving for x we have;
x = (5 * 26) / 64
x = 2.03125g
