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 quantity of 0.001 m aq naoh needed to neutralize the hcl produced by complete solvolysis
abruzzese [7]

The quantity of 0.001 m aq naoh needed to neutralize the hcl produced by complete solvolysis is 200 ml.

Solvolysis is a type of nucleophilic substitution or elimination wherein the nucleophile is a solvent molecule. function of SN1 reactions, solvolysis of a chiral reactant provides the racemate.

Calculation :-

using the titration equation,

M₁V₁ = M₂V₂

substituting values

V₁ = M₂ V₂/M₁

  = 0.2 × 10 ml /0.01

= 2/0.01 ml

= 200 ml.

At standard temperature and pressure, what volume does 0.5 mol of CO2 occupyAt standard temperature and pressure, what volume do
Zigmanuir [339]
<span>C. 11.2 L There are several different ways to solve this problem. You can look up the density of CO2 at STP and work from there with the molar mass of CO2, but the easiest is to assume that CO2 is an ideal gas and use the ideal gas properties. The key property is that a mole of an idea gas occupies 22.413962 liters. And since you have 0.5 moles, the gas you have will occupy half the volume which is 22.413962 * 0.5 = 11.20698 liters. And of the available choices, option "C. 11.2 L" is the closest match. Note: The figure of 22.413962 l/mole is using the pre 1982 definition of STP which is a temperature of 273.15 K and a pressure of 1 atmosphere (1.01325 x 10^5 pascals). Since 1982, the definition of STP has changed to a temperature of 273.15 K and a pressure of exactly 10^5 pascals. Because of this lower pressure, one mole of an ideal gas will have the higher volume of 22.710947 liters instead of the older value of 22.413962 liters.</span>
