Answer:

We will produce 8.2 grams of acetylsalicylic acid

Explanation:

step 1: Data given

Mass of salicylic acid, = 6.3 grams

Molar mass salicylic acid = 138.12 g/mol

Molar mass of acetylsalicylic acid = 180.158 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

C7H6O3 + C4H6O3 → C9H8O4 + C2H4O2

Step 3: Calculate moles salicylic acid

Moles salicylic acid = mass salicylic acid / molar mass salicylic acid

Moles salicylic acid = 6.3 grams / 138.12 g/mol

Moles salicylic acid = 0.0456 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles acetylsalicylic acid

Since the mole ratio is 1 to 1

For 0.0456 moles salicylic acid we'll have 0.0456 moles acetylsalicylic acid

Step 5: Calculate mass acetylsalicylic acid

MAss acetylsalicylic acid = moles acetylsalicylic acid * molar mass acetylsalicylic acid

MAss acetylsalicylic acid = 0.0456 moles * 180.158 g/mol

Mass acetylsalicylic acid = 8.2 grams

We will produce 8.2 grams of acetylsalicylic acid

In the experiment "Preparation and Standardization of a Sodium Hydroxide Solution", why was the burette rinsed with NaOH before
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer: The correct option is ALL OF THE ABOVE.

Explanation:

TITRATION is a type of volumetric analysis which is used for determining the concentration of solutions. In this process a specific volume of a solution is placed in a conical flask by means of a pipette and small quantities of a second solution is slowly added from a burette until the end point is reached. This is determined by a means of an indicator which shows a characteristic colour change.

During titration, the following precautions should be followed to avoid errors and maintain standardisation in the experiment.

--> Any air bubble in the burette and pipette must be removed during measurement

--> the burette tap should be tightened to avoid leakage.

--> Remove the funnel from the burette before taking any reading to avoid errors in reading the volume.

--> use the base solution such as Sodium Hydroxide Solution to rinse the burette after washing with soap and tap water:

• to remove any air bubble and fill it's tip

• to remove any residual liquid from the water and soap solution which may interfere with the results of the experiment.

• to check if the burette is in good condition.

Therefore all of the above options to the question are correct.

a block of wood has a density of 0.95 g/cm3. will it float or sink when placed on a liquid with a density of 0.88 g/mL? explain
vesna_86 [32]
Since 1mL=1cm^3 the wood would sink due to it being more dense. I.e. 0.95>0.88
