Answer:

65.18% is the percent yield for this reaction.

Explanation:

C_7H_6O_3 + C_4H_6O_3\rightarrow C_9H_8O_4 + C_2H_4O_2

Moles of salicyclic acid = \frac{2.0 g}{138 g/mol}=0.01449 mol

According to reaction 1 mole of salicyclic acid gives 1 mole of aspirin .

Then 0.01449 mole of salicylic acid will give :

\frac{1}{1}\times 0.01449 mol=0.01449 mol of asprin

Mass of 0.01449 moles of aspirin :

= 0.01449 mol × 180 g/mol = 2.6082 g

Theoretical yield of aspirin = 2.6082 g

Experimental yield of aspirin = 1.7 g

The percent yield for this reaction:

\%(Yield)=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100

=\frac{1.7 g}{2.6082 g}\times 100=65.18\%

65.18% is the percent yield for this reaction.

stich3 [128]

Explanation:

Contributing structures are the resonating structures which are formed due to the delocalization of electrons in a molecule.

The azide ion that is N^{-}_3, is a symmetrical ion, all of whose contributing structures have formal charges.

Lone pair of central nitrogen atom in azide ion is in conjugation with the neighboring nitrogen atoms.

Contributing structures of azide ion are drawn in the image attached.

What is the number of moles of chemical units represented by 9.03x10^24? And how do I show work? (DUMB IT DOWN PLEASE)
Goryan [66]
You have to use avagados number... so toy take your starting number and multiple by 1/avagados number which is like 6.002^23 and that will equal your number of males... avagado always associates with moles... look up that exact number though bc I cant remember it
