The methyl salicylate (wintergreen oil) is the methyl ester of salicylic acid.

Methyl salicylate is produced by esterifying salicylic acid with methanol, the reaction scheme is attached to this answer. In the past, it was commonly distilled from the twigs of Betula lenta (sweet birch) and Gaultheria procumbens (eastern teaberry or wintergreen).

Q 3.6: calculate the number of po43- ions present in 23.7 g of ca3(po4)2.

malfutka [58]

Moles of ca3(po4)2 = 23.7 / 310.17 = 0.076

moles of (PO4)3- = 0.076 x 2 = 0.152

now, no. of ions = 0.152 x 6.022 x 10^{23}

= 9.2 x 10^{22}

How many grams of sodium sulfide can be produced when 45.3 g Na react with 105 g S?

erastova [34]

Balance the equation: 2Na + S --> Na2S
Using the given amount of the reactants in the reaction, calculate the amount of the product:
45.3g Na x (1 mol/22.99 g)= 1.97 mol of Na
105f S x (1 mol/ 32.06g) = 3.28 mol of S
The limiting reactant would be Na:
<span>1.97 mol Na x (1 mol Na2S/ 2 mol Na) x (78.04g/mol) = 76.87g of Na2S produced</span>

What is the relationship between the number of particles and the overall pressure?

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

The volume of a given amount of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure when temperature is held constant (Boyle's law). Under the same conditions of temperature and pressure, equal volumes of all gases contain the same number of molecules
