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.

How many kilojoules of energy would be required to heat a 225g block of aluminum from 23.0 C to 73.5 C?
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 10.2 \ kJ}}

Explanation:

We are asked to find how many kilojoules of energy would be required to heat a block of aluminum.

We will use the following formula to calculate heat energy.

q=mc \Delta T

The mass (m) of the aluminum block is 225 grams and the specific heat (c) is 0.897 Joules per gram degree Celsius. The change in temperature (ΔT) is the difference between the final temperature and the initial temperature.

  • ΔT = final temperature - inital temperature

The aluminum block was heated from 23.0 °C to 73.5 °C.

  • ΔT= 73.5 °C - 23.0 °C = 50.5 °C

Now we know all three variables and can substitute them into the formula.

  • m= 225 g
  • c= 0.897 J/g° C
  • ΔT= 50.5 °C

q= (225 \ g )(0.897 \ J/g \textdegree C)(50.5 \textdegree C)

Multiply the first two numbers. The units of grams cancel.

q= (225 \ g  * 0.897 \ J/g \textdegree C)(50.5 \textdegree C)

q= (225   * 0.897 \ J / \textdegree C)(50.5 \textdegree C)

q= (201.825\ J / \textdegree C)(50.5 \textdegree C)

Multiply again. This time, the units of degrees Celsius cancel.

q= 201.825 \ J * 50.5

q= 10192.1625 \ J

The answer asks for the energy in kilojoules, so we must convert our answer. Remember that 1 kilojoule contains 1000 joules.

\frac { 1  \ kJ}{ 1000 \ J}

Multiply by the answer we found in Joules.

10192.1625 \ J * \frac{ 1 \ kJ}{ 1000 \ J}

10192.1625  * \frac{ 1 \ kJ}{ 1000 }

\frac {10192. 1625}{1000} \ kJ

10.1921625 \ kJ

The original values of mass, temperature, and specific heat all have 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we found, that is the tneths place. The 9 in the hundredth place tells us to round the 1 up to a 2.

10.2 \ kJ

Approximately <u>10.2 kilojoules</u> of energy would be required.

How many individual orbitals does carbon use for all of its electrons? Remember, there are two electrons in each filled orbital
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

Three orbitals

Explanation:

The electronic configuration of carbon is given as follows;

1s²2s²2p²

Therefore, out of the six electrons of the carbon atoms, 4 fill the 1s and 2s orbitals with 2 electrons each, while the two remaining electrons are situated in the 2p orbital, with the electrons in the 2p orbital will remain unpaired such that they will have similar quantum numbers in accordance with Pauli exclusion principle.

Ka/KbMIXED PRACTICE108.Calculate the [H3O+(aq)], the pH, and the % reaction for a 0.50 mol/L HCN solution. ([H3O+(aq)] = 1.8 x 1
NeTakaya

Answer:

a) [H₃O⁺] = 1.8x10⁻⁵ M

b) pH = 4.75

c) % rxn = 3.5x10⁻³ %

Explanation:

a) The dissociation reaction of HCN is:

HCN(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ H₃O⁺(aq) + CN⁻(aq)

0.5 M - x                       x               x

The dissociation constant from the above reactions is given by:

Ka = \frac{[H_{3}O^{+}][CN^{-}]}{[HCN]} = 6.17 \cdot 10^{-10}

6.17 \cdot 10^{-10} = \frac{x*x}{(0.5 - x)}

6.17 \cdot 10^{-10}*(0.5 - x) - x^{2} = 0

By solving the above quadratic equation we have:

x = 1.75x10⁻⁵ M = 1.8x10⁻⁵ M = [H₃O⁺] = [CN⁻]

Hence, the [H₃O⁺] is 1.8x10⁻⁵ M.

b) The pH is equal to:

pH = -log[H_{3}O^{+}] = -log(1.75 \cdot 10^{-5} M) = 4.75    

Then, the pH of the HCN solution is 4.75.

c) The % reaction is the % ionization:

\% = \frac{x}{[HCN]} \times 100

\% = \frac{1.75 \cdot 10^{-5} M}{0.5 M} \times 100

\% = 3.5 \cdot 10^{-3} \%          

Therefore, the % reaction or % ionization is 3.5x10⁻³ %.

I hope it helps you!
