Variable is any factor, trait, or condition that can exist in differing amounts or type. experiments usually have three kids of variables: independent, dependent, and controlled. independent variable is the one that gets changed by the scientist. i hope this helps alot

Well, an independent variable ids the thing that stays the same and a dependent variable is the thing that changes.

Aspirin sun thesis Green Chemistry and Assime the aspirin is prepared by the following reaction and that 10.09. of salicylic aci

klemol [59]

Answer: The percentage yield of aspirin is 38.02 %.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For salicylic acid:

Given mass of salicylic acid $(C_7H_6O_3)$ = 10.09 g

Molar mass of salicylic acid $(C_7H_6O_3)$ = 138.12 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of salicylic acid}=\frac{10.09g}{138.12g/mol}=0.0730mol$

The chemical equation for the formation of aspirin follows:

$C_7H_6O_3+C_4H_6O_3\rightarrow C_9H_8O_4+CH_3COOH$

As, acetic anhydride is present in excess. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, salicylic acid is a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of products.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of salicylic acid produces 1 mole of aspirin.

So, 0.0730 moles of salicylic acid will produce = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.0730=0.0730mol$ of aspirin

Now, calculating the mass of aspirin from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of aspirin = 180.16 g/mol

Moles of aspirin = 0.073 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.073mol=\frac{\text{Mass of aspirin}}{180.16g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of aspirin}=13.15g$

To calculate the percentage yield of aspirin, we use the equation:

$\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

Experimental yield of aspirin = 5.0 g

Theoretical yield of aspirin = 13.15 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\%\text{ yield of aspirin}=\frac{5.0g}{13.15g}\times 100\\\\\% \text{yield of aspirin}=38.02\%$

Hence, the percent yield of aspirin is 38.01 %.
