Chemistry

The limiting reactant is salicylic acid (C₇H₆O₃).

Explanation:

We have the following chemical reaction where salicylic acid (C₇H₆O₃) reacts with acetic anhydride (C₄H₆O₃) to form acetylsalicylic acid (C₉H₈O₄) and acetic acid (C₂H₄O₂):

C₇H₆O₃ + C₄H₆O₃ → C₉H₈O₄ + C₂H₄O₂

We have started with 70.0 g of salicylic acid (C₇H₆O₃) and 80.0 g acetic anhydride (C₄H₆O₃).

First we calculate the number of moles of each reactant:

number of moles = mass / molar weight

number of moles of salicylic acid = 70 / 138 = 0.507 moles

number of moles of acetic anhydride = 80 / 102 = 0.784 moles

We see from the chemical reaction that 1 mole of acetic anhydride (C₄H₆O₃) reacts with 1 mole of salicylic acid (C₇H₆O₃) so 0.784 moles of acetic anhydride (C₄H₆O₃) will react with 0.784 mole of salicylic acid (C₇H₆O₃) but we only have 0.507 moles of salicylic acid (C₇H₆O₃). The limiting reactant is salicylic acid (C₇H₆O₃).

The atomic radius of main group elements generally increases down a group because
Pachacha [2.7K]

The atomic radius of main group elements generally increases down a group because as there are more electrons they are farther away from the nucleus and the electrons closer to the nucleus shield the outer electrons from the protons for attraction.

How many moles are in 1.20 times 10^25 atoms of phosphorus
Stels [109]

19.927 moles are in 1.20 times 10^{25} atoms of phosphorus.

<h3>What are moles?</h3>

A mole is defined as 6.02214076 ×10^{23} of some chemical unit, be it atoms, molecules, ions, or others.

1 mole of any substance contain Avogadro's number of molecules so we can calculate the number of moles by dividing the provided number of atoms over Avogadro's number to obtain the number of moles .

Moles= \frac{Atoms}{\;Avogadro's \;number }

Moles=  1.20 X 10^{25} atoms ÷ 6.022 X 10^{23}

= 19.927

Hence, 19.927 moles are in 1.20 times 10^{25} atoms of phosphorus.

Does sodium satisfy the ostet rule?
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

The rule is especially applicable to carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and the halogens, but also to metals such as sodium or magnesium. ... All four of these electrons are counted in both the carbon octet and the oxygen octet, so that both atoms are considered to obey the octet rule.
