Answer:

The theoretical yield of aspirin is 3.95 grams

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of salicylic acid = 3.03 grams

Volume of acetic anhydride = 3.61 mL

Density of acetic anhydride = 1.08 g/cm³

Step 2: The balanced equation

C4H6O3+C7H6O3→C9H8O4+C2H4O2

Step 3: Calculate moles salicylic acid

Moles salicylic acid = mass salicylic acid / molar mass salicylic acid

Moles salicylic acid = 3.03 grams /138.121 g/mol

Moles salicylic acid = 0.0219 moles

Step 4: Calculate mass acetic anhydride

Mass acetic anhydride = volume * density

Mass acetic anhydride = 3.61 mL * 1.08 g/mL

Mass acetic anhydride = 3.90 grams

Step 5: Calculate moles acetic anhydride

Moles acetic anhydride = 3.90 grams / 102.09 g/mol

Moles acetic anhydride = 0.0382 moles

Step 6: Calculate limiting reactant

For 1 mol salicylic acid we need 1 mol acetic anhydride to produce 1 mol aspirin

Salicylic acid is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed. (0.0219 moles). Acetic anhydride is in excess. There will react 0.0219 moles. There remain 0.0382 - 0.0219 =0.0163 moles

Step 7: Calculate moles aspirin

For 1 mol salicylic acid we need 1 mol acetic anhydride to produce 1 mol aspirin

For 0.0219 moles salicylic acid we'll have 0.0219 moles aspirin

Step 8: Calculate theoretical yield of aspirin

Mass of aspirin = moles aspirin *molar mass aspirin

Mass of aspirin = 0.0219 moles *180.15 g/mol

Mass of aspirin = 3.95 grams

The theoretical yield of aspirin is 3.95 grams

Ocean water contains 3.5 nacl by mass. what mass of ocean water in grams contains 45.8 g of nacl
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Mass percentage of sodium chloride(NaCl) in ocean waters = 3.5 %

That means 3.5 g sodium chloride(NaCl) is present for every 100 g of ocean water.

The given mass of sodium chloride(NaCl) is 45.8 g

Calculating the mass of ocean waters that would contain 45.8 g sodium chloride(NaCl):

45.8 g NaCl *\frac{100g ocean water}{3.5g NaCl}

                     = 1309 g ocean water

Therefore, 45.8 g sodium chloride is present in 1309 g ocean water.

Balanced chemical equation: BaCl2(aq)+Na2SO4(aq)⟶BaSO4(s)+2NaCl(aq)
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Part 1)  85.3 grams NaCl

Part 2)  8.79 x 10²³ formula units NaCl

Explanation:

<u>(Part 1)</u>

To find the mass of NaCl, you need to multiply the given value (1.46 moles) by the molar mass of NaCl. This measurement is the atomic masses of the elements times each of their quantities combined. In this case, there is only one mole of each element in the molecule. Moles should be located in the denominator of the conversion to allow for the cancellation of units. The final answer should have 3 sig figs to reflect the given value.

Molar Mass (NaCl): 22.99 g/mol + 35.45 g/mol
Molar Mass (NaCl): 58.44 g/mol

1.46 moles NaCl            58.44 g
---------------------------  x  ----------------  =  85.3 grams NaCl
                                        1 mole

<u>(Part 2)</u>

I do not know which other question the second part is referring to, so I will just use the moles given in the first part. To find the formula units, you need to multiply the given value (1.46 moles NaCl) by Avogadro's Number. This conversion represents the number of formula units found in 1 mole of the sample. The moles should be in the denominator of the conversion to allow for the cancellation of units.

Avogadro's Number:

1 mole = 6.022 x 10²³ formula units

1.46 moles NaCl         6.022 x 10²³ units
------------------------  x  -----------------------------  =  8.79 x 10²³ formula units NaCl
                                          1 mole

Calculate the atomic mass for copper using the weighted average mass method. Express your answer using two decimal places and in
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

63. 55 amu

Explanation:

Copper is known to exist in two different isotopes which are Cu-63 and Cu-65.

Cu-63 has an atomic mass of 62.93 amu and it has an abundance of 69.15%.

Similarly,

Cu-65 has an atomic mass of 64.93 amu and it has an abundance of 30.85%

Therefore, using the weighted average mass method, the atomic mass of copper is:

Atomic mass of copper = (0.6915*62.93) amu + (0.3085*64.93) amu = 43.52 amu + 20.03 amu = 63.55 amu

Thus, the atomic mass of copper (express in two decimal places) is 63.55 amu
