The correct option is calcite. It is a carbonate mineral of calcium carbonate. Its quite a hard mineral and it not fluid in nature at all. It exhibits both ionic and covalent chemical bonds.

Out of the options, glass is the least fluid. The proof of this also lies in the fact that glass is the most difficult to melt out of all of the mentioned substances, and melting point gives us a rough estimate of the strength of intermolecular forces.

Why can sand stop fire?

nekit [7.7K]

It will cover up all oxygen from the fire. And sand has no natural flammability because it is simply a crushed up mineral, so it can not make the fire any bigger.

Aspirin (C9H8O4) is synthesized by reacting salicylic acid (C7H6O3) with acetic anhydride (C4H6O3). The balanced equation isC7H6

prisoha [69]

Answer:

For a: The mass of acetic anhydride needed is 73.91 grams.

For b: The theoretical yield of aspirin is 130.43 grams.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For a:

Given mass of salicylic acid = $1.00\times 10^2g=100g$

Molar mass of salicylic acid = 138.121 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of salicylic acid}=\frac{100g}{138.121g/mol}=0.724mol$

For the given chemical reaction:

$C_7H_6O_3+C_4H_6O_3\rightarrow C_9H_8O_4+CH_3COOH$

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of salicylic acid reacts with 1 mole of acetic anhydride.

So, 0.724 moles of salicylic acid will react with = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.724=0.724mol$ of acetic anhydride.

Now, to calculate the mass of acetic anhydride, we use equation 1:

Moles of acetic anhydride = 0.724 moles

Molar mass of acetic anhydride = 102.09 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.724mol=\frac{\text{Mass of acetic anhydride}}{102.09g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of acetic anhydride}=73.91g$

Hence, the mass of acetic anhydride needed is 73.91 grams.

For b:

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of salicylic acid is producing 1 mole of aspirin.

So, 0.724 moles of salicylic acid will produce = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.724=0.724mol$ of aspirin.

Now, to calculate the mass of aspirin, we use equation 1:

Moles of aspirin = 0.724 moles

Molar mass of aspirin = 180.158 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.724mol=\frac{\text{Mass of aspirin}}{180.158g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of aspirin}=130.43g$

Hence, the theoretical yield of aspirin is 130.43 grams.

Suppose you are working with a NaOH stock solution but you need a solution with a lower concentration for your experiment. Calcu

Monica [59]

Answer: The volume of the 1.224 M NaOH solution needed is 26.16 mL

Explanation:

In order to prepare the dilute NaOH solution, solvent is added to a given amount of the NaOH stock solution up to a final volume of 250.0 mL.

Since only solvent is added, the amount of the solute, NaOH, in the dilute solution is the same as in the volume taken from the stock solution.

Molarity (M) is calculated from the following equation:

M = n ÷ V

where n is the number of moles of the solute in the solution, and V is the volume of the solution.

Accordingly, the number of moles of the solute is given by

n = M x V

Now, let's designate the stock NaOH solution and the dilute solution as (1) and (2), respectively . The number of moles of NaOH in each of these solutions is:

n (1) = M (1) x V (1)

n (2) = M (2) x V (2)

As the amount of NaOH in the dilute solution is the same as in the volume taken from the stock solution,

n (1) = n (2)

and

M (1) x V (1) = M (2) x V (2)

For the stock solution, M (1) = 1.244 M, and V (1) is the volume needed. For the dilute solution, M (2) = 0,1281 M, and V (2) = 250.0 mL.

The volume of the stock solution needed, V (1), is calculated as follows:

V (1) = M (2) x V (2) ÷ M (1)

V (1) = 0.1281 M x 250.0 mL ÷ 1.224 M

V (1) = 26.16 mL

The volume of the 1.224 M NaOH solution needed is 26.16 mL.
