What happens to a reducing agent during a redox reaction?

1 answer:

7 0

Reducing agent is an compound/atom, that loses an electron and is oxidized.

0.........+I.............+II............0
Ca + 2HCl ----> CaCl₂ + H₂

Calcium is oxidized --- it's reducing agent (reductant).
Hydrogen is reduced --- HCl is oxidizing agent.

Calculate the theoretical yield of aspirin obtained when 2.0 g of salicylic acid and 5.0 mL of acetic anhydride (density = 1.08

saw5 [17]

Answer:

The percent yield would be 73%

Explanation:

The balanced reaction for the obtention of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) is the following:

Salicylic acid + acetic anhydride → acetylsalicylic acid + acetic acid

C₇H₆O₃ + C₄H₆O₃ → C₉H₈O₄ + C₂H₄O₂

According to the reaction, 1 mol of salicylic acid reacts with 1 mol of acetic anhydride to give 1 mol of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) and 1 mol of acetic acid.

1 mol aspirin (C₉H₈O₄) = (9 x 12 g/mol) + (8 x 1 g/mol) + (4 x 16 g/mol)

= 180 g

1 mol salicylic acid (C₇H₆O₃) = (7 x 12 g/mol) + (6 x 1 g/mol) + (3 x 16 g/mol)

= 138 g

1 mol acetic anhydride (C₄H₆O₃) = (4 x 12 g/mol) + (6 x 1 g/mol) + (3 x 16 g/mol)

= 102 g

The stoichiometric ratio is = 138 g salicylic acid/102 g acetic anhydride= 1.35

We have:

2.0 g salicylic acid

acetic anhydride = 5.0 mL x 1.08 g/mL = 5.4 g

The reactants ratio is = 2.0 g salicylic acid/5.4 g acetic anhydride = 0.37

0.37 < 1.35 , therefore <em>salicylic acid is the limiting reactant</em>.

Now, we use the amount of salicylic acid to calculate the theoretical amount of aspirin. For this, we know that 1 mol of aspirin (180 g) is obtained from 1 mol of salycilic acid (138 g):

theoretical yield= 180 g aspirin/138 g salycilic acid x 2.0 g salycilic acid = 2.61 g aspirin

actual yield = 1.9 g

Finally, we calculate the yield:

percent yield = actual yield/theoretical yield x 100

= 1.9 g/2.6 g x 100 = 72.8% ≅ 73%

What is a colligative property?

V125BC [204]

<span>Colligative properties are properties of solutions that depend on the number of molecules [or ions] in a given volume of solvent and not on the properties (e.g. size or mass) of the compound. Colligative properties include: lowering of vapor pressure; elevation of boiling point; depression of freezing point and osmotic pressure.</span>

If 0.50 mol/L of butane is added to the original equilibrium mixture and the system shifts to a new equilibrium position, what i

Ostrovityanka [42]

Consider the isomerization of butane with equilibrium constant is 2.5 .The system is originally at equilibrium with :

[butane]=1.0 M , [isobutane]=2.5 M

If 0.50 mol/L of butane is added to the original equilibrium mixture and the system shifts to a new equilibrium position, what is the equilibrium concentration of each gas?

Answer:

The equilibrium concentration of each gas:

[Butane] = 1.14 M

[isobutane] = 2.86 M

Explanation:

Butane ⇄ Isobutane

At equilibrium

1.0 M 2.5 M

After addition of 0.50 M of butane:

(1.0 + 0.50) M -

After equilibrium reestablishes:

(1.50-x)M (2.5+x)

The equilibrium expression will wriiten as:

$K_c=\frac{[Isobutane]}{[Butane]}$

$2.5=\frac{2.5+x}{(1.50-x)}$

x = 0.36 M

The equilibrium concentration of each gas:

[Butane]= (1.50-x) = 1.50 M - 0.36M = 1.14 M

[isobutane]= (2.5+x) = 2.50 M + 0.36 M = 2.86 M
