Light receptors with in the eye transmit messages to the brain, which procedures is the familiar sensations of color. Newton observed that color is not inherit in objects. Rather the surface of an object reflects some colors and absorbs all the others. We perceive only the reflective colors.

When 6.040 grams of a hydrocarbon, CxHy, were burned in a combustion analysis apparatus, 18.95 grams of CO2 and 7.759 grams of H

algol [13]

Answer: The empirical formula is $CH_2$ and molecular formula is $C_4H_8$

Explanation:

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2$ = 18.95 g

Mass of $H_2O$ = 7.759 g

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 18.59 g of carbon dioxide, = $\frac{12}{44}\times 18.59=5.07g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 7.759 g of water, = $\frac{2}{18}\times 7.759=0.862g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of C = 5.07 g

Mass of H = 0.862 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of C = $\frac{\text{ given mass of C}}{\text{ molar mass of C}}= \frac{5.07g}{12g/mole}=0.422moles$

Moles of H= $\frac{\text{ given mass of H}}{\text{ molar mass of H}}= \frac{0.862g}{1g/mole}=0.862moles$

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For C = $\frac{0.422}{0.422}=1$

For H = $\frac{0.862}{0.422}=2$

The ratio of C : H = 1: 2

Hence the empirical formula is $CH_2$ .

The empirical weight of $CH_2$ = 1(12)+2(1)= 14 g.

The molecular weight = 56.1 g/mole

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula.

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular weight }}{\text{Equivalent weight}}=\frac{56.1}{14}=4$

The molecular formula will be= $4\times CH_2=C_4H_8$

La aspirina se prepara haciendo reaccionar ácido salicílico con exceso de anhídrido etanoico. En un experimento, 50.05 g de ácid

Tanya [424]

La aspirina se prepara haciendo reaccionar ácido salicílico con exceso de anhídrido etanoico. En un experimento, 50.05 g de ácido salicílico se convirtieron en 55.45 g de aspirina. ¿Cuál fue el porcentaje de rendimiento?

In English:

Aspirin is prepared by reacting salicylic acid with excess ethanoic anhydride. In one experiment, 50.05 g of salicylic acid was converted to 55.45 g of aspirin. What was the yield percentage?

Answer:

el rendimiento porcentual para la cantidad dada de ácido salicílico es 84.99 %

In English:

the percent yield for the given amount of salicylic acid is 84.99%

Explanation:

La ecuación química equilibrada para la reacción se puede escribir como:

C₇H₆O₃ + C₄H₆O₃ → C₉H₈O₄ + HC₂H₃O₂

Para la reacción mostrada arriba; El reactivo limitante de la reacción es el ácido salicílico. Ahora; calcular el porcentaje de rendimiento; se espera que primero determinemos el rendimiento teórico de la reacción.

Entonces; la fórmula para calcular el porcentaje de rendimiento: $\mathbf {= \frac{actual \ yield }{theoretical \ yield } *100 }$

El rendimiento teórico se determina de la siguiente manera:

50.05 g * 1 mol / 138.21 g / mol de C₇H₆O₃ * 1 mol de C₉H₈O₄ / 1 mol de C₇H₆O₃ * 180.157 g / mol de C₉H₈O₄ = 65.24 g de C₉H₈O₄

Porcentaje de rendimiento $\mathbf {= \frac{55.45 }{65.24 } *100 }$

Porcentaje de rendimiento = 84.99%

Por lo tanto, el porcentaje de rendimiento para la cantidad dada de ácido salicílico es 84.99%

In English:

The balanced chemical eqaution for the reaction can be written as:

C₇H₆O₃ + C₄H₆O₃ → C₉H₈O₄ + HC₂H₃O₂

For the reaction shown above; The limiting reactant from the reaction is salicylic acid. Now; to calculate the percentage yield ; we are expected to first determine the theoretical yield of the reaction.

So; the formula for calculating the percentage yield $\mathbf {= \frac{actual \ yield }{theoretical \ yield } *100 }$

The theoretical yield is determined as follows:

50.05 g * 1 mol/ 138.21 g/mol of C₇H₆O₃ * 1 mol of C₉H₈O₄/ 1 mol of C₇H₆O₃ * 180.157 g/mol of C₉H₈O₄ = 65.24 g of C₉H₈O₄ is produced

Percentage yield $\mathbf {= \frac{55.45 }{65.24 } *100 }$

Percentage yield = 84.99%

Thus, the percent yield for the given amount of salicylic acid is 84.99%
