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

Be sure to answer all parts. Part 1 out of 2 how many electrophilic centers are present in acetyl chloride (ch3cocl)?
natima [27]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

            There is One electrophilic center in acetyl chloride.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

                    Electrophile is defined as any specie which is electron deficient and is in need of electrons to complete its electron density or octet. The main two types of electrophiles are those species which either contain positive charge (i.e. NO₂⁺, Cl⁺, Br⁺ e.t.c) or partial positive charge like that contained by the sp² hybridized carbon of acetyl chloride shown below in attached picture.

                    In acetyl chloride the partial positive charge on sp² hybridized carbon is generated due to its direct bonding to highly electronegative elements *with partial negative charge) like oxygen and chlorine, which tend to pull the electron density from carbon atom making it electron deficient and a good electrophile for incoming nucleophile as a center of attack.
