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%

How many liters of solvent are needed to make a 6.5M solution with 34 mol of solute?
Dominik [7]

Answer:

5.231 L.

Explanation:

  • Molarity is the no. of moles of solute per 1.0 L of the solution.

<em>M = (no. of moles of KCl)/(Volume of the solution (L))</em>

<em></em>

M = 6.5 M.

no. of moles of solute = 34.0 mol,

Volume of the solution = ??? L.

∴ (6.5 M) = (34.0 mol)/(Volume of the solution (L))

∴ (Volume of the solution (L) = (34.0 mol)/(6.5 M) = 5.231 L.

Sulfuric acid dissolves aluminum metal according to the following reaction:
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

m_{H_2SO_4}=81.7gH_2SO_4

m_{H_2}=1.67gH_2

Explanation:

Hello,

Based on the given undergoing chemical reaction is is rewritten below:

2Al (s) + 3H_2SO_4 (aq)\rightarrow  Al _2(SO4)_3 (aq) + 3H_2 (g)

By stoichiometry we find the minimum mass of H2SO4 (in g) as shown below:

m_{H_2SO_4}=15.0gAl*\frac{1molAl}{27gAl}*\frac{3molH_2SO_4}{2molAl}*\frac{98gH_2SO_4}{1molH_2SO_4} \\m_{H_2SO_4}=81.7gH_2SO_4

Moreover, mass of H2 gas (in g) would be produced by the complete reaction of the aluminum block turns out:

m_{H_2}=15.0gAl*\frac{1molAl}{27gAl}*\frac{3molH_2}{2molAl}*\frac{2gH_2}{1molH_2} \\m_{H_2}=1.67gH_2

Best regards.
