Frost wedging

Explanation:

Weathering is the physical disintegration and chemical decomposition of rocks to form sediments and soils.

Some agents of weathering are wind, water, glacier and gravity.

In physical weathering, rocks are broken down mechanically into smaller bit.
Freezing and thawing allows for the propagation of physical weathering.
Water within cracks will expand when they freeze significantly.
This will further expand and widen the cracks.
When the ice thaws the stress is relieved.
When the process continues on and on over the year, a rock will eventually break down.
This is common around the temperate and polar regions.

What is the theoretical yield of aspirin ( C 9 H 8 O 4 ), which has a molar mass of 180.15 g/mol, possible when reacting 3.03 g

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

The theoretical yield of aspirin is 3.95 grams

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of salicylic acid = 3.03 grams

Volume of acetic anhydride = 3.61 mL

Density of acetic anhydride = 1.08 g/cm³

Step 2: The balanced equation

C4H6O3+C7H6O3→C9H8O4+C2H4O2

Step 3: Calculate moles salicylic acid

Moles salicylic acid = mass salicylic acid / molar mass salicylic acid

Moles salicylic acid = 3.03 grams /138.121 g/mol

Moles salicylic acid = 0.0219 moles

Step 4: Calculate mass acetic anhydride

Mass acetic anhydride = volume * density

Mass acetic anhydride = 3.61 mL * 1.08 g/mL

Mass acetic anhydride = 3.90 grams

Step 5: Calculate moles acetic anhydride

Moles acetic anhydride = 3.90 grams / 102.09 g/mol

Moles acetic anhydride = 0.0382 moles

Step 6: Calculate limiting reactant

For 1 mol salicylic acid we need 1 mol acetic anhydride to produce 1 mol aspirin

Salicylic acid is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed. (0.0219 moles). Acetic anhydride is in excess. There will react 0.0219 moles. There remain 0.0382 - 0.0219 =0.0163 moles

Step 7: Calculate moles aspirin

For 1 mol salicylic acid we need 1 mol acetic anhydride to produce 1 mol aspirin

For 0.0219 moles salicylic acid we'll have 0.0219 moles aspirin

Step 8: Calculate theoretical yield of aspirin

Mass of aspirin = moles aspirin *molar mass aspirin

Mass of aspirin = 0.0219 moles *180.15 g/mol

Mass of aspirin = 3.95 grams

The theoretical yield of aspirin is 3.95 grams

. Copper(I) oxide, Cu2O, is reduced to metallic copper by heating in a stream of hydrogen gas. What mass of water is produced wh

maksim [4K]

Answer: 0.07868 mol H₂O

Explanation:

1) Chemical equation:

Cu₂O +H₂ → 2Cu + H₂O

2) mole ratios:

1 mol Cu₂O : 1 mol H₂ : 2 mol Cu : 1 mol H₂O

3) Convert 10.00 g of Cu to grams, using the atomic mass:

Atomic mass of Cu: 63.546 g/mol

number of moles = mass in grams / atomic mass = 10.00g / 63.546 g/mol

number of moles = 0.1574 mol

4) Use proportions

2mol Cu 0.1574 mol Cu
--------------- = ---------------------
1 mol H₂O x

⇒ x = 0.1574 mol Cu × 1 mol H₂O / 2mol Cu = 0.07868 mol H₂O

That is the answer

In the reaction fecl2 + 2naoh fe(oh)2(s) + 2nacl, if 6 moles of fecl2 are added to 6 moles of naoh, how many moles of fecl2 woul

pychu [463]

The balanced chemical reaction would be

<span>fecl2 + 2naoh = fe(oh)2(s) + 2nacl

Initial amounts of the reactants are given, so, we need to determine which of the reactants is the limiting reactant and use this amount to determine what is asked. However, what is being asked is how many of the FeCl2 is used in the reaction, showing that it is NaOH that is the limiting reactants. Thus, we just use the initial amount of NaOH and relate the substances by the chemical reaction as follows:

6 mol NaOH ( 1 mol FeCl2 / 2 mol NaOH ) = 3 mol FeCl2

Therefore, 3 moles of FeCl2 is used up and 3 moles of FeCl2 is also left after the reaction.</span>
