Many esters have characteristic odors. Methyl salicylate exhibits a pleasant wintergreen odor. This ester can be prepared from s

alicylic acid and methanol via Fischer esterification. Which one of these reagents would you use in excess in order to drive the reaction to the product? Explain how you would isolate the ester product from the reaction mixture for full credit. (10 pts)

Answer:

Methanol would be used as a reagent in excess, since it is a very low-cost solvent. For product isolation, the first thing to do is remove the methanol through a distillation process. The residue produced can be dissolved in diethyl ether. Using a NaHCO₃ solution, extraction is performed. When it separates into two phases, the product will be in the ether and the reagent in the aqueous phase. The ether can also be removed by distillation, and at the end of this process you will have the product you want.

The total mass of the atmosphere is about 5.00 x 1018 kg. How many moles each of air, O2, and CO2 are present in the atmosphere?
n200080 [17]

<u>Answer:</u> The moles of oxygen and carbon dioxide in air is 3.63\times 10^{19}mol and 7.18\times 10^{16}mol respectively

<u>Explanation:</u>

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

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Given mass of atmosphere = 5.00\times 10^{18}kg=5.00\times 10^{21}g

Average molar mass of atmosphere = 28.96 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Moles of atmosphere}=\frac{5.00\times 10^{21}g}{28.96g/mol}=1.73\times 10^{20}mol

We know that:

Percent of oxygen in air = 21 %

Percent of carbon dioxide in air = 0.0415 %

Moles of oxygen in air = \frac{21}{100}\times 1.73\times 10^{20}=3.63\times 10^{19}mol

Moles of carbon dioxide in air = \frac{0.0415}{100}\times 1.73\times 10^{20}=7.18\times 10^{16}mol

Hence, the moles of oxygen and carbon dioxide in air is 3.63\times 10^{19}mol and 7.18\times 10^{16}mol respectively

Which of the following is the largest volume? (B?)
vekshin1
Yeah, it would be B (1.2 x 102 m^3) because the measurement gave it away even though other numbers were higher, however, the measurements for those were smaller in size.

Determine el PH y el % de disociación de una solución de ácido débil, sabiendo que se disuelven 20 gramos del ácido (masa molar=
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

pH = 4.27. Porcentaje de disociación: 0.03%

Explanation:

El pH de un ácido débil, HX, se obtiene haciendo uso de su equilibrio:

HX(aq) ⇄ H⁺(aq) + X⁻(aq)

Donde la constante de equilibrio, Ka, es

Ka = 1.65x10⁻⁸ = [H⁺] [X⁻] / [HX]

Como los iones H⁺ y X⁻ vienen del mismo equilibrio podemos decir:

[H⁺] = [X⁻]

[HX] es:

20g * (1mol/55g) = 0.3636moles / 2.100L = 0.1732M

Reemplazando es Ka:

1.65x10⁻⁸ = [H⁺] [H⁺] / [0.1732M]

2.858x10⁻⁹ = [H⁺]²

5.35x10⁻⁵M = [H⁺]

pH = -log[H⁺]

<h3>pH = 4.27</h3>

El porcentaje de disociacion es [X⁻] / [HX] inicial * 100

Reemplazando

5.35x10⁻⁵M / 0.1732M * 100

<h3>0.03%</h3>
