Answer:

The mass percentage yield is 85%

Explanation:

Step 1: The balanced equation

2 C7H6O3 + (CH3CO)2CO → 2 C9H8O4 + H20

Step 2: Given data

mass of salicylic acid = 1.03 grams

Volume of acetic anhydride = 2.00 mL = 2*10^-3 L

The product is 1.16 g aspirin synthesized

Molar mass of salicylic acid = 138.12 g/mole

Molar mass of aspirin = 180.16 g/mole

Density of acetic anhydride = 1.0820 g/mL

Step 3: Calculated moles of salicylic acid

Number of moles of salicylic acid = mass of salicylic acid / Molar mass of salicylic acid

Number of moles of salicylic acid = 1.03 grams / 138.12 g/mole

Number of moles of salicylic acid =0.0075 moles

Step 4: Calculated mass acetic anhydride

mass of acetic anhydride = 1.0820 g/mL * 2 mL = 2.164 grams

Step 5: Calculate number of moles of acetic anhydride

Number of moles = 2.164 grams / 102.09 g/moles

Number of moles = 0.0212 moles

Step 6: Find amount of reacting moles

C7H6O3 is the limiting reactant, there will react 0.0075 moles

Since for 2 moles C7H6O3 consumed, we need 1 mole of (CH3CO)2CO to produce 2 moles of C9H804

So for 0.0075 moles C7H6O3 consumed, we produce 0.0075 moles of C9H8O4

Step 7: Calculate mass of aspirin

mass of aspirin = 0.0075 moles * 180 g/mole = 1.35 grams

Step 8: Calculate the mass percentage yield

(1.16 grams / 1.35 grams) * 100% = 85 %

The mass percentage yield is 85%

Metals posses varying reduction potentials. Iron can reduce Cu+2 (aq) to copper metal. Silver can reduce Au+ (aq) to gold metal.

natta225 [31]

Answer: The true statement is iron can reduce $Au^+(aq)$ to gold metal

Explanation:

Single displacement reaction is defined as the reaction in which more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its chemical reaction.

The reactivity of metal is determined by a series known as reactivity series. The metals lying above in the series are more reactive than the metals which lie below in the series.

$A+BC\rightarrow AC+B$

Metal A is more reactive than metal B.

We are given:

Iron can reduce copper, silver can reduce gold, sodium can reduce iron and copper can reduce silver metal.

The increasing order of reactivity thus follows:

$Au$

where, sodium is most reactive and gold is least reactive

For the given options:

Option 1: Copper cannot easily reduce sodium ion to sodium metal because it is less reactive.

$Cu(s)+Na^+(aq.)\rightarrow \text{ No reaction}$

Option 2: Iron cant easily reduce gold ion to gold metal because it is more reactive.

$Fe(s)+3Au^+(aq.)\rightarrow Fe^{3+}(aq.)+3Au(s)$

Option 3: Silver cannot easily reduce iron ion to iron metal because it is less reactive.

$Ag(s)+Fe^{3+}(aq.)\rightarrow \text{ No reaction}$

Hence, the true statement is iron can reduce $Au^+(aq)$ to gold metal

Carbondioxide gas is't collectable in water. why?

Lisa [10]

Answer:

carbon dioxide is a gas so it isn't collected over water.

Explanation:

it works for insoluble gases such as hydrogen,or gases that do not dissolve easily in water such as ammonia and chlorine are readily soluble in water and are not collected this way.

hope it is helpful for you.
