Asprin is a compond with the molecular formula, C9H8O4. What is the percent composition?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Arte-miy333 [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Oxygen       35.6 percent

Carbon        60 percent

Hydrogen    4.4 percent

Explanation:

Molecular mass of aspirin(C_9H_8O_4)=180 gm/mol.

Mass of carbon in 180 gm of aspirine=12\times 9=108\  gm.

Therefore, percentage of carbon in aspirin is =\dfrac{108}{180}\times 100=60\ percent.

Similarly, mass of hydrogen in 8 gm of aspirine=1\times 8=8\ gm.

Hydrogen's percentage in aspirin=\dfrac{8}{180}\times 100=4.4\ percent.

Also, mass of oxygen in aspirin is =16\times 4=64\ gm.

Oxygen's percentage in aspirin=\dfrac{64}{180}\times 100=35.6\ percent.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Draw a structural formula for the alkene you would use to prepare the alcohol shown by hydroboration/oxidation.
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The question is incomplete because the image of the alcohol is missing. However, I will try give you a general picture of the reaction known as hydroboration of alkenes.

This reaction occurs in two steps. In the first step, -BH2 and H add to the same face of the double bond (syn addition).

In the second step, alkaline hydrogen peroxide is added and the alcohol is formed.

Note that the BH2 and H adds to the two atoms of the double bond. The final product of the reaction appears as if water was added to the original alkene following an anti-Markovnikov mechanism.

Steric hindrance is known to play a major role in this reaction as good yield of the anti-Markovnikov like product is obtained with alkenes having one of the carbon atoms of the double bond significantly hindered.

Ozone consists of three oxygen atoms (O3) and water consists of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom (H2O).

Forming a covalent bond

A covalent bond is formed when two atoms share a pair of electrons. Covalent bonding occurs in most non-metal elements, and in compounds formed between non-metals.

These shared electrons are found in the outer shells of the atoms. Usually each atom contributes one electron to the shared pair of electrons.

The slideshow shows how a covalent bond forms between a hydrogen atom and a chlorine atom, making hydrogen chloride.

Structures of a hydrogen atom and a chlorine atom.

1. A hydrogen atom with one electron and a chlorine atom with 17 electrons


Molecules

Most covalently bonded substances consist of small molecules. A molecule is a group of two or more atoms joined together by covalent bonds. Molecules of the same element or compound always contain the same number of atoms of each element.

The atoms in a molecule are always joined together by a covalent bond. Substances that are made up of ions do not form molecules.

Sizes of atoms and simple molecules

A small molecule contains only a few atoms, so atoms and small molecules have a similar range of sizes. They are very small, typically around 0.1 nm or 1 × 10-10 m across.

A generator does work on an electric heater by forcing an electric current through it. Suppose 1 kJ of work is done on the heate
azamat

Answer:

The change in internal energy of the heater is 0 kJ

Explanation:

∆U = Q - W

Q is quantity of heat transferred = 1 kJ

W is work done on the heater = 1 kJ

Change in internal energy (∆U) = 1 - 1 = 0 kJ
