Aspirin (C9H8O4, molecular mass 180.2 g/mol) is synthesized by the reaction of salicylic acid (C7H6O3, molecular mass 138.1 g/mo

l) with acetic anhydride (C4H6O3, molecular mass 102.1 g/mol) according to the reaction 2 C7H6O3 (s) + C4H6O3(l) → 2C9H8O4(s)+ H2O(l) 2.0g of salicylic acid and 5.4 g of acetic anhydride are mixed and the reaction is allowed to go to completion. Do each of the following: A. Identify the limiting reagent. B. State how many grams of the excess reagent remain. C. State how many grams of product are produced.

Answer:

A. The Salicylic acid C_{7}H_{6}O_{3} is the limiting reagent.

B. 4.66 g of the acetic anhydride C_{4}H_{6}O_{3} remain.

C. 2.6 g of C_{9}H_{8}O_{4} are produced.

Explanation:

A. First write the balanced chemical equation fior the asprin synthesis:

_{2}C_{7}H_{6}O_{3}_{(s)}+C_{4}H_{6}O_{3}_{(l)}=_{2}_{(s)}+H_{2}O_{(l)}

Then determine the limiting reagent.

To determine the limiting reagent first divide the mass of each compound between its molar mass, then divide this quantity by the number of moles given by the reaction and the smallest number will be the limiting reagent.

- For the Salicylic acid C_{7}H_{6}O_{3}:

2.0g*\frac{1mol}{138.1g}=0.014

\frac{0.014}{2}=0.007

- For the Acetic anhydride C_{4}H_{6}O_{3}:

5.4g*\frac{1mol}{102.1g}=0.053

\frac{0.052}{1}=0.053

The smallest number is for the salicylic acid therefore it is the limiting reagent.

B. Calculate how many grams of the excess reagent remain.

- First calculate how many grams of acetic anhydride reacts:

2.0gC_{7}H_{6}O_{3}*\frac{1molC_{7}H_{6}O_{3}}{138.1gC_{7}H_{6}O_{3}}*\frac{1molC_{7}H_{6}O_{3}}{2molesC_{7}H_{6}O_{3}}*\frac{102.1gC_{4}H_{6}O_{3}}{1molC_{4}H_{6}O_{3}}=0.74gC_{4}H_{6}O_{3} reacts

- Then subtract the quantity of acetic anhydride that reacts from the quantity that are mixed:

5.4gC_{4}H_{6}O_{3}-0.74gC_{4}H_{6}O_{3}=4.66gC_{4}H_{6}O_{3} remain

C. Calculate how many grams of product are produced:

2.0gC_{7}H_{6}O_{3}*\frac{1molC_{7}H_{6}O_{3}}{138.1gC_{7}H_{6}O_{3}}*\frac{2molesC_{9}H_{8}O_{4}}{2molesC_{7}H_{6}O_{3}}*\frac{180.2gC_{9}H_{8}O_{4}}{1molC_{9}H_{8}O_{4}}=2.6gC_{9}H_{8}O_{4} are produced.

In which of the following equilibrium systems will an increase in the volume cause the equilibrium to shift away from the reacta
Alenkinab [10]

Answer: 2NOBr(g) ⇌ 2NO(g) + Br2(g)

Explanation: For volume changes in equillibrium, the following are to be taken into consideration:

  • Volume changes have no effect on equillibrium system that contains solid or aqueous solutions.
  • An increase in volume of an equilibrium system will shift to favor the direction that produces more moles of gas.
  • A decrease in volume of an equilibrium system will shift to favor the direction that produces less moles of gas.
  • Volume changes will have no effect on the equillibrium system if there is an equal number of moles on both sides of the reaction.

2NOBr(g) ⇌ 2NO(g) + Br2(g) is the equillibrium system because there are more moles of products,therefore an increase in the volume of the reaction will shift to the right and produce more moles of products. Also both reactants and products exist in the gaseous state and does not have equal number of moles.
