Answer:

The mass percentage yield is 85%

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: </u>The balanced equation

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

<u>Step 2</u>: 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

<u>Step 3</u>: 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

<u>Step 6</u>: 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

<u>Step 7</u>: Calculate mass of aspirin

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

<u>Step 8:</u> Calculate the mass percentage yield

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

The mass percentage yield is 85%

All atoms of the same element:
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

have the same number of atoms

Explanation:

Atoms of the same element have the same atomic number so the number of protons (and electrons) are same. But they have same or different mass number (like that for isotopes) . Different mass number will have different number of neutrons.

<span> Chemical properties depend on electron configuration. By either gaining or losing electrons, an atom changes its electron configuration and therefore its chemical properties also change. 9.</span>
