Calculate the theoretical yield of aspirin obtained when 2.0 g of salicylic acid and 5.0 mL of acetic anhydride (density = 1.08

g/mL) are mixed together.(Molar masses: acetic anhydride = 102.1 g/mol; salicylic acid = 138.2 g/mol)If 1.6 g of aspirin were obtained in this experiment, what would be the percentage yield?The melting point of the crude aspirin was reported as 126 °C. What does it indicate about the purity of the product?

Answer:

The % yield = 61.3 %

The aspirin is impure, since the melting point was too low

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

Mass of salicylic acid = 2.0 grams

Volume of acetic anhydride = 5.0 mL ( Density = 1.08 g/mL)

Molar mass of acetic anhydride =102.1 g/mol

Molar mass of salicylic acid = 138.2 g/mol

<u>Step 2:</u> The balanced equation

C7H6O3 + C4H6O3 → C9H8O4 + CH3COOH

<u>Step 3:</u> Calculate moles of salicylic acid

Moles salicylic acid = mass salicylic acid / Molar mass salicylic acid

Moles salicylic acid = 2.0 grams /138.2 g/mol

Moles salicylic acid = 0.0145 moles

<u>Step 4: </u>Calculate moles of acetic anhydride

Mass of acetic anhydride = 1.08 g/mL * 5.0 mL = 5.4 grams

Moles acetic anhydride = 5.4 grams / 102.1 g/mol

Moles acetic anhydride = 0.0529 moles

<u>Step 5</u>: Calculate limting reactant

Mole ratio is 1:1 so since salicylic acid has the smallest number of moles, it's the limiting reactant

Salicylic acid will completely be consumed (0.0145 moles)

Acetic anhydride is in excess. There will 0.0145 moles be consumed.

There will remain 0.0529 -0.0145 = 0.0384 moles of acetic anhydride

<u>Step 6</u>: Calculate moles of aspirin

Since mole ratio is 1:1 there will be produced 0.0145 moles of aspirin

<u>Step 7:</u> Calculate mass of aspirin

Mass of aspirin = 0.0145 moles * 180.158 g/mol

Mass of aspirin =  2.61 grams = theoretical yield

<u>Step 8:</u>  Calculate % yield

% yield = actual yield / theoretical yield

% yield = (1.6 grams / 2.61 grams)*100%

% yield = 61.3 %

Since the melting point of pure aspirin is 138-140, this means that the aspirin was impure. It's possible that the aspirin still has insoluble impurities in it.

Calculate the molecular (formula) mass of each compound: (a) iron(ll) acetate tetrahydrate; (b) sulfur tetrachloride; (c) potass
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

a) Iron(ll) acetate tetrahydrate: 245,68 g/mol

b) Sulfur tetrachloride: 173,87 g/mol

c) Potassium ermanganate 158,034 g/mol

Explanation:

To solve this kind of exercises you must look for the number of atoms in each molecule first, then look on the periodic table the atom weight and the multiply the atom weight times the quantity of each atom. For instance:

The molecule of Iron(II) acetate itetrahydrate is (CH3COO)2Fe•4H2O, it means that you have:

2 atoms of carbon times the atomic weight of C (12.00g/mol)= 24g

14 atoms of Hidrogen times the atomic weight of H (1,00g/mol)= 14g

6 atoms of Oxigen times the atomic weight of O (16,0g/mol)= 96

2 atoms of Iron times the atomic weight of Fe (55,84g/mol)= 111,68g

At last, you only have to add the results: 24+14+96+11,68= 245,68g/mol. This example was for the first molecule.

See you,

This diagram shows the forces acting on a car. The center dot represents the car, and the arrows represent the forces acting on
Mariulka [41]

Answer : The correct option is B- Towards the left.

Solution : Given,

Force on car in upward direction, F_1 = 6000 N

Force on car in downward direction, F_2 = 6000 N

Force on car in right direction, F_3 = 5000 N

Force on car in left direction, F_4 = 6000 N

Force : Force is equal to the mass multiplied by the acceleration. The force is directly proportional to the acceleration.

Formula :  F =  m × a

where, F is force, m is mass and a is acceleration.

From the given diagram we conclude that the F_1 and F_2 are in opposite direction and the force acting on car are same. So, their net force is zero.

And in case of F_3 and F_4, the net force will not be zero because force acting on car are different. The car will accelerate towards left direction because F_4 is higher than the F_3.

So, the car will accelerate towards left direction.
