Hey there!

The equivalence is point in a titration is the point at which you have neutralized all of your base/acid with your titrant acid/base from a buret. This can be seen with indicators which change color at the equivalence point in a titration to signal to you that all of your base/acid has been reacted with. For example, all your molecules of OH⁻ from a NaOH base in a beaker have been neutralized by H⁺of HCl acid from your titrant in a buret leaving only Na⁺ ions and Cl⁻ ions and neutral H₂O molecules.

How can you tell if a electron configuration is ground state or excited state?

scZoUnD [109]

An excited state refers to an atom with electrons at a higher energy level. More than necessary and a ground state is when all atom's electrons are in their lowest orbital possible

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

Chromosome is basically made of DNA and proteins.

Explanation:

Chromosomes contain thread like structure present inside the nucleus of the cell.Chromosome is generally made of DNA and proteins(Histone proteins).

The DNA is wrapped around the basic protein histone to provide support the chromosome structure.

The wrapping of DNA around the histone proteins helps in the formation of nucleosome which helps in the packing of DNA inside the chromosome.

There are many compounds that contribute to the overall aroma of a banana. The primary compound is called isoamyl acetate and co

Murljashka [212]

Explanation:

Let the mass of isoamyl acetate be 100g.

Moles of Carbon = 60.58/12 = 5.048mol

Moles of Hydrogen = 7.07/1 = 7.07mol

Moles of Oxygen = 32.28/16 = 2.018mol

Mole Ratio of C : H : O

= 5.048 : 7.07 : 2.018

= 5 : 7 : 2.

Hence the empirical formula of isoamyl acetate is C5H7O2.

Explain why aluminum does not react with potassium nitrate (KNO3) although it reacts with copper nitrate

Ratling [72]

Answer:

Potassium is more reactive than aluminium, so no reaction takes place. But aluminium is more reactive than copper, so it replaces the copper in copper nitrate

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

More reactive metal compound + less reactive metal

-> no reaction

However

Less reactive metal compound + more reactive metal

-> more reactive metal compound + less reactive metal

This is called substitution reaction where the more reactive metal replaces the less reactive metal in the compound.

The expression of the theoretical yield (TY) in function of limiting reagent (LR) of a reaction is as follows: TY = ideal mole r

spin [16.1K]

<u>Answer:</u> The theoretical yield of acetanilide is 6.5 grams.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

<u>For aniline:</u>

Given mass of aniline = $4.50\times 10^0=4.50g$ (We know that: $10^0=1$ )

Molar mass of aniline = 93.13 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of aniline}=\frac{4.50g}{93.13g/mol}=0.048mol$

<u>For acetic anhydride:</u>

To calculate the mass of acetic anhydride, we use the equation:

$\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}$

Volume of acetic anhydride = $(1.25\times \text{Mass of aniline})=1.25\times 4.50=5.625mL$

Density of acetic anhydride = 1.08 g/mL

Putting values in above equation:

$1.08g/mL=\frac{\text{Mass of acetic anhydride}}{5.625mL}\\\\\text{Mass of acetic anhydride}=(1.08g/mL\times 5.625mL)=6.08g$

Given mass of acetic anhydride = 6.08 g

Molar mass of acetic anhydride = 102.1 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of acetic anhydride}=\frac{6.08g}{102.1g/mol}=0.06mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of aniline and acetic anhydride follows:

$C_6H_5NH_2+CH_3COOCOCH_3\rightarrow C_6H_5NHCOCH_3+CH_3COOH$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of aniline reacts with 1 mole of acetic anhydride

So, 0.048 moles of aniline will react with = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.048=0.048mol$ of acetic anhydride

As, given amount of acetic anhydride is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, aniline is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of aniline produces 1 mole of acetanilide

So, 0.048 moles of aniline will produce = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.048=0.048mol$ of acetanilide

Now, calculating the theoretical yield of acetanilide by using equation 1:

Moles of acetanilide = 0.048 moles

Molar mass of acetanilide = 135.17 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.048mol=\frac{\text{Mass of acetanilide}}{135.17g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of acetanilide}=(0.048mol\times 135.17g/mol)=6.5g$

Hence, the theoretical yield of acetanilide is 6.5 grams.
