The definition of the speed of light is exactly 299,792,458 meters per second, so to find how far it travels in a time period, multiply the speed of light times the time. Aka c=299,792,458m/s where c is speed of light, m is meters, and s is seconds. So for example to find how far light travels in 5 seconds, multiply by 5.

Aspirin sun thesis Green Chemistry and Assime the aspirin is prepared by the following reaction and that 10.09. of salicylic aci

klemol [59]

Answer: The percentage yield of aspirin is 38.02 %.

Explanation:

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

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

For salicylic acid:

Given mass of salicylic acid $(C_7H_6O_3)$ = 10.09 g

Molar mass of salicylic acid $(C_7H_6O_3)$ = 138.12 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of salicylic acid}=\frac{10.09g}{138.12g/mol}=0.0730mol$

The chemical equation for the formation of aspirin follows:

$C_7H_6O_3+C_4H_6O_3\rightarrow C_9H_8O_4+CH_3COOH$

As, acetic anhydride is present in excess. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, salicylic acid is a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of products.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of salicylic acid produces 1 mole of aspirin.

So, 0.0730 moles of salicylic acid will produce = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.0730=0.0730mol$ of aspirin

Now, calculating the mass of aspirin from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of aspirin = 180.16 g/mol

Moles of aspirin = 0.073 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.073mol=\frac{\text{Mass of aspirin}}{180.16g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of aspirin}=13.15g$

To calculate the percentage yield of aspirin, we use the equation:

$\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

Experimental yield of aspirin = 5.0 g

Theoretical yield of aspirin = 13.15 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\%\text{ yield of aspirin}=\frac{5.0g}{13.15g}\times 100\\\\\% \text{yield of aspirin}=38.02\%$

Hence, the percent yield of aspirin is 38.01 %.

Consider the neutralization reaction 2 HNO 3 ( aq ) + Ba ( OH ) 2 ( aq ) ⟶ 2 H 2 O ( l ) + Ba ( NO 3 ) 2 ( aq ) A 0.120 L sample

k0ka [10]

Answer:

The concentration of the HNO3 solution is 0.150 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume of the unknown HNO3 sample = 0.120 L

Volume of the 0.200 M Ba(OH)2 = 45.1 mL

Step 2: The balanced equation

2HNO3 + Ba(OH)2 ⟶ Ba(NO3)2 + 2H2O

Step 3: Calculate moles Ba(OH)2

moles Ba(OH)2 = molarity * volume

moles Ba(OH)2 = 0.200 M * 0.0451 L

moles Ba(OH)2 = 0.00902 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of HNO3

For 1 mole of Ba(OH)2 we need 2 moles of HNO3

For 0.00902 moles of Ba(OH)2 we need 2*0.00902 = 0.01804 moles

Step 5: Calculate molarity of HNO3

molarity = moles / volume

molarity = 0.01804 / 0.120 L

Molarity = 0.150 M HNO3

The concentration of the HNO3 solution is 0.150 M
