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).

1. The molecule of Aspirin C_{9}*H_{8} * O_{4} contains 9C atomsatoms, and 4 Oxygen atomsHow are we using the molecular formula
tatiyna

The mass can be obtained from the molar mass when the number of moles is known.

<h3>What is molecular formular?</h3>

The molecular formlar is the formula of the compound that shows the number of atoms of each element that is present in the molecule. Asprin is a moecule that has the molecular formula C9H8O4.

To use the molecular formula to determine weight, we have to know the number of moles involved.

Mass = number of moles * molar mass.

How could an alpha particle pass straight through the metal foil and strike the center of the phosphor screen on the other side
djverab [1.8K]
I think you refer to  Rutherford's Gold Foil Experiment alpha particles pass through because of the enormous amount of empty space inside the atom. 


>>>more details here<<<
to have its trajectory affected the alpha particle has to pass "near" the nucleus to interact with the positive charge of the nucleus.
the fact is that internally the gold atoms are basically empty space and the nucleus represents only a small portion of the entire volume. only few alpha particles pass near the nucleus

Which of the following combinations would form a buffer solution?
Schach [20]

Answer:

d . all of the above

Explanation:

A buffer system can be formed in one of two ways:

  • A weak acid and its conjugate base
  • A weak base and its conjugate acid

Which of the following combinations would form a buffer solution?

a. HF and LiF. YES. HF is a weak acid and F⁻ (from LiF) is its conjugate base.

b. NH₃ and NH₄Br. YES. NH₃ is a weak base and NH₄⁺ (from NH₄Br) is its conjugate acid.

c. HNO₂ and NaNO₂. YES. HNO₂ is a weak acid and NO₂⁻ (from NaNO₂) is its conjugate base.
