Answer:

Molecular formula = C₅H₁₀O₄

Explanation:

Given data:

Percentage of hydrogen = 7.52%

Percentage of carbon = 44.77%

Percentage of oxygen = 47.71%

Molecular formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of H = 7.52 / 1.01 = 7.445

Number of gram atoms of O = 47.71 / 16 = 2.982

Number of gram atoms of C = 44.77/ 12 = 3.731

Atomic ratio:

            C                      :      H                     :         O

           3.731/2.982      :     7.445/2.982    :       2.982/2.982

                1.25              :           2.5              :        1

C : H : O = 1.25 : 2.5 : 1

C : H : O = 4(1.25 : 2.5 : 1 )

Empirical formula is C₅H₁₀O₄

Molecular formula:

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass

Empirical formula mass  = 5×12 + 10×1.01 + 4×16 = 134.1

n = 134.13/ 134.1

n = 1

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

Molecular formula = 1 (C₅H₁₀O₄)

Molecular formula = C₅H₁₀O₄

Write a net ionic equation to show that acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin), hc9h7o4, behaves as a brønsted-lowry acid in water.
Thepotemich [5.8K]
By definition, Bronsted-Lowry acid is a proton donor in the acid-base neutralization reaction. When a weak acid like acetylsalicylic acid is reacted with water, the water here acts as the Bronsted-Lowry base. This is possible because water has properties of amphoterism - can act as an acid or base. In this case, acetylsalicylic acid would have to donate its H+ atom to water, so that it would yield a hydronium ion, H₃O⁺. The complete net ionic reaction is shown in the picture.

So, in the reaction, the products yield are the acetylsalicylate ion and the hydronium ion.
