Answer:

The acid (-COOH) functional group of aspirin causes it to irritate the stomach

Explanation:

Aspirin is acetylsalicylic acid with a molecular formula C₉H₈O₈.

It is a cyclic compound composed of a benzene ring along with 2 functional groups: the carboxylic acid (-COOH) and acetyl group (-OCOCH3)

The most common side effect of consuming aspirin is an upset stomach. This is due to the acid functional group which can irritate the stomach lining.

The functional group of the aspirin in which causes this compound to cause a person’s stomach to be irritated is most likely because of the acetyl salicylic acid in which its acid portion of this drug causes the person’s stomach to feel stomach irritation.

How many molecules are in 42.3g sample of water
Helga [31]

Answer:

The number of molecules is 1.4140*10^24 molecules

Explanation:

To know the number of molecules, we need to determine how many moles of water we have, water has molar mass of 18.015g/mol

This means that one mole of water molecules has a mass of 18.015g.

42.3g * 1 mole H2O/18.015g

= 2.3480 moles H2O

We are using avogadros number to find the number of molecules of water

2.3480 H2O * 6.022*10^ 23moles/ 1mole of H2O

That's 2.3480 multiplied by 6.022*10^23 divided by 1 mole of H2O

Number of molecules = 1.4140 *10^24 molecules
