Aspirin can be made in the laboratory by reacting acetic anhydride (C 4H 6O 3) with salicylic acid (C 7H 6O 3) to form aspirin (

C 9H 8O 4) and acetic acid (C 2H 4O 2). The balanced equation is
C 4H 6O 3+C 7H 6O 3?C 9H 8O 4+C 2H 4O 2
In a laboratory synthesis, a student begins with 2.80mL of acetic anhydride (density=1.08g/ml) and 1.24g of salicylic acid. Once the reaction is complete, the student collects 1.24g of aspirin.
Determine the limiting reactant for the reaction.
Determine the theoretical yield of aspirin for the reaction.
Determine the percent yield of aspirin for the reaction.

<u>Answer:</u> The percent yield of the aspirin is 77.5 %.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the mass of acetic anhydride, we use the equation:

\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}

Density of acetic anhydride = 1.08 g/mL

Volume of acetic anhydride = 2.80 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1.08g/mL=\frac{\text{Mass of acetic anhydride}}{2.80mL}\\\\\text{Mass of acetic anhydride}=(1.08g/mL\times 2.80mL)=3.024g

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

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

  • <u>For acetic anhydride:</u>

Given mass of acetic anhydride = 3.024 g

Molar mass of acetic anhydride = 102.1 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of acetic anhydride}=\frac{3.024g}{102.1g/mol}=0.0296mol

  • <u>For salicylic acid:</u>

Given mass of salicylic acid = 1.24 g

Molar mass of salicylic acid = 138.12 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of salicylic acid}=\frac{1.24g}{138.12g/mol}=0.0089mol

The chemical equation for the combustion of hexane follows:

C_4H_6O_3+C_7H_6O_3\rightarrow C_9H_8O_4+C_2H_4O_2

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

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

So, 0.0089 moles of salicylic acid will react with = \frac{1}{1}\times 0.0089=0.0089mol of acetic anhydride

As, given amount of acetic anhydride is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, salicylic acid is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of salicylic acid produces 1 mole of aspirin

So, 0.0089 moles of salicylic acid will produce = \frac{1}{1}\times 0.0089=0.0089moles of aspirin

Now, calculating the mass of aspirin from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of aspirin = 180.16 g/mol

Moles of aspirin = 0.0089 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.0089mol=\frac{\text{Mass of aspirin}}{180.16g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of aspirin}=(0.0089mol\times 180.16g/mol)=1.60g

  • To calculate the percentage yield of aspirin, we use the equation:

\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100

Experimental yield of aspirin = 1.24 g

Theoretical yield of aspirin = 1.60 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\%\text{ yield of aspirin}=\frac{1.24g}{1.60g}\times 100\\\\\% \text{yield of aspirin}=77.5\%

Hence, the percent yield of the aspirin is 77.5 %.

What is carbon sink and how it effects our environment?
Ronch [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Carbon sink is basically anything that absorbs carbon from the atmosphere.   Particularly, the soil, trees, plants and the ocean absorb the most carbon, which helps with greenhouse emission.

If 25.8 grams of BaO dissolve in enough water to make a 212-gram solution, what is the percent by mass of the solution?
Igoryamba
The correct answer is 12.2% BaO.

The solution is found by dividing the mass of the BaO, which is 25.8 grams, by the total mass of the solution, which is 212 grams, then multiplying it by 100 to get the percentage:
\frac{25.8}{212}*(100) =12.2%

Aqueous lithium sulfate was mixed with aqueous strontium chlorate, and a crystallized strontium sulfate product was formed. cons
Dmitriy789 [7]

Lithium sulfate is Li2SO4

Strontium chlorate is Sr(ClO3)2

Strontium sulfate is SrSO4

 

So the complete balanced chemical reaction for this is:

 

Li2SO4 (aq) +  Sr(ClO3)2 (aq) -->  SrSO4 (s)  +  2 LiClO3 (aq)

 

 

This is a type of double replacement reaction since there is an exchange of ions.
