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.

Artyom0805 [142]
Use the ideal gas equation PV=nRT. You can compare before and after using P1V1/n1T1=P2V2/n2T2. Since the number of moles remains constant you can disregard moles from the equation and use pressure, volume and temp. Make sure your pressure is converted to atmospheres, your volume is in liters, and your temperature is in kelvins.

What quantity of heat is required to raise the temperature of 460g of aluminum from 15C to 85C?
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

Q = 28.9 kJ

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of Aluminium, m = 460 g

Initial temperature, T_i=15^{\circ} C

Final temperature, T_f=85^{\circ}

We know that the specific heat of Aluminium is 0.9 J/g°C. The heat required to raise the temperature is given by :

Q=mc\Delta T\\\\Q=mc(T_f-T_i)\\\\Q=460\ g\times 0.9\ J/g^{\circ} C\times (85-15)^{\circ} C\\\\Q=28980\ J\\\\\text{or}\\\\Q=28.9\ kJ

So, 28.9 kJ of heat is required to raise the temperature.

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

mass of silver chloride AgCl = 11.89 g

molar mass of AgCl = 143.37 g/mol

We know that:

number of moles = mass/molar mass

∴

number of moles of AgCl = 11.89 g/ 143.37 g/mol

number of moles of AgCl = 0.0829 mol

The chemical equation for the mineral called trona is:

\mathsf{Na_2CO_3.NaHCO_3.2H_2O}

when being reacted with hydrochloric acid, we have:

\mathsf{Na_2CO_3.NaHCO_3.2H_2O + 3HCl \to 3NaCl + 2CO_2 +4H_2O}

One mole of NaCl formed from one mole of trona sample = 0.0829 moles of AgCl

i.e. 0.0829 moles of NaCl can be formed from AgCl

mass of trona sample = number of moles × molar mass

mass of trona sample = 0.0829 × 226

mass of trona sample = 18.735 g

The mass in the percentage of NaHCO₃ = mass of NaHCO₃/ mass of trona

The mass in the percentage of NaHCO₃ = 6.93/18.735

The mass in the percentage of NaHCO₃ = 0.36989

The mass in the percentage of NaHCO₃ = 36.99%

Nonetheless, a 6.78 g samples manufactured from sodium carbonate in pure 100%

∴

6.78 g sample manufactured from Na₂CO₃ is purer.
