Twenty molecules of tetrasulfur tetranitrogen contain how many atoms of sulfur?

1 answer:

7 0

The correct answer is 80 atoms of sulfur.

In order to answer this question we must firstly find the molecular formula of tetrasulfur tetranitrogen. The said molecule has the molecular formula of S4N4.
Therefore, each molecule of S4N4 contains four atoms of sulfur (S).
If one molecule of S4N4 contains 4 sulfur atoms, then twenty molecules contain
20 x 4= 80 atoms of sulfur.

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 %.

Landfills are one source of CO2. As garbage decomposes, it releases CO2 into the air. Can you think of at least

Margaret [11]

Answer:

Recycling and reuse of materials

Explanation:

One of the greatest problems facing the human population is the problem of solid waste disposal. The menace of solid waste disposal has led to the idea of landfills. Land fills are depressions on the earth surface prepared for the purpose of solid waste disposal.

The most important approach towards solid waste disposal is the idea of recycling of materials. A material can be collected after use and processed into the same material or serve as a precursor in another manufacturing process. This means that no waste is generated as the materials which are supposed to be disposed of as solid waste are processed into other useful materials. This will reduce the volume of solid wastes generated that may need to be disposed in a landfill.

Select the three most acidic hydrogen atoms in lactic acid, CH3CH(OH)CO2H, and rank them in order of decreasing acidity. Explain

Olin [163]

It is easier to determine this if we draw the structural formula of lactic acid as shown in the attached picture. There are three functional groups in lactic acid: carboxyl group, hydroxyl group, and the parent alkane chain. Any of the hydrogens in the alkane chain is the least acidic. Then, it is followed by the H in the hydroxyl group. The most acidic is the H in the carboxyl group.
