Answer : The correct option is, (B) Salicylic acid

Solution :

First we have to calculate the moles of salicylic acid and acetic anhydride.

\text{Moles of }C_7H_6O_3=\frac{\text{Mass of }C_7H_6O_3}{\text{Molar mass of }C_7H_6O_3}=\frac{70g}{138.121g/mole}=0.507moles

\text{Moles of }C_4H_6O_3=\frac{\text{Mass of }C_4H_6O_3}{\text{Molar mass of }C_4H_6O_3}=\frac{80g}{102.09g/mole}=0.783moles

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

2C_7H_6O_3(aq)+C_4H_6O_3(aq)\rightarrow 2C_9H_8O_4(aq)+H_2O(l)

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 2 moles of salicylic acid react with 1 mole of acetic anhydride

So, 0.507 moles of salicylic acid react with \frac{0.507}{2}=0.2535 mole of acetic anhydride

The excess of acetic anhydride = 0.783 - 0.2535 = 0.5295 moles

That means the in the given balanced reaction, salicylic acid is a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of products and acetic anhydride is an excess reagent.

Hence, the limiting reagent is, salicylic acid.

Explain in terms of both electrons and energy how the bright line spectrum of an element is produced
quester [9]
<span>The atoms don't absorb the energy; the electrons absorb the energy. Electrons around atoms, without energy, are in an unexcited state, called a ground state. Once energy is absorbed, however, the electrons become excited, meaning they have more energy and are going to release it. Once they are excited, they make a transition from a lower valence shell to a higher valence shell, which is the transition state. Then, the electrons fall back to their own valence shell, releasing the energy, and are put in the ground state again. The energy that is released as quanta, which is how a bright-line spectrum is produced.</span>

How many grams of NaCl are in 2.0 Liters of a 3.0 M NaCl solution?
Naddik [55]

Answer:

350.64g

Explanation:

So first you must know that M is mol/L

Next solve the problem using dimensional analysis

2L NaCl (3 mol/L) = 6 mol NaCl

After you got the number of moles you should look at your periodic table to find the molar mass

I see that it's 58.44g/mol

Use dimensional analysis again!

6 mol (58.44g/mol) = 350.64g

Don't forget to make me brainliest!
