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.

Answer:

The correct matching of the air mass and the letters in the word bank are given as follows;

1. Warm and humid                   ↔       D

2. Extremely cold and dry        ↔       B

3. Cold and dry                         ↔       A

4. Cold and humid                    ↔       C

5. Warm and dry                       ↔        E

Where;

A Represents continental polar

B Represents Artic

C Represents Maritime Polar

D Represents Maritime Tropical

E Represents Continental Tropical

Explanation:

A. A continental polar is one that can be described as a cold and dry climate as the region is located at a further away from the oceanic water bodies that add humidity to the climate

B. The regions of the Artic and the Antarctic have very limited amount of precipitation every year because the air is very cold as well as dry

C. A polar climate is a cold climate region, while a maritime climate is humid.

Therefore, the maritime polar climate combines both cold and humid conditions

D. A warm and humid region has high rainfall and humidity, as such the maritime climate which are humid and the tropical climate, which are warm, combine to give a warm and humid climate

E. The continental tropical climate can be described as warm and dry, compared to the continental water bodies, due to the location being distant from and therefore, the absence of high moisture containing wind that comes from the oceans.

Why do you turn a C-terminal aminoacid's carboxyl group into an ester before reducing it to an alcohol? Why not just use LiAlH4
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

Esters are both inorganic and organic acids .... Regarding the second question, it is believed that it is carried out in this way in order to recognize the C-terminal amino acid in a peptide within a protein

Explanation:

The explanation of this question is according to what was interpreted in the question, since it is considered that it is poorly written ...

What happens in this chemical reaction is that it first becomes an ester (organic or inorganic acid) so that it is later recognized in the complex peptide structure.
