Would you expect lactic acid, ch3ch(oh)co2h ( in sour milk) or myristic acid, ch3(ch2)12co2h (used to make cosmetics) to be more

Among these two compounds Lactic Acid is completely soluble in water (1000 g/L) while, Myristic Acid is insoluble in water [<span>20 mg/L (20 °C)].

Explanation:
                   Among other factors solubility greatly depends upon the inter-molecular interactions between solute and solvent (<em><u>LIKE DISSOLVES LIKE</u></em><u>)</u>. Greater the interactions greater is the solubility.
                   As shown below, Lactic Acid contains two hydroxyl groups and one carbonyl group. These three groups are involved in forming Hydrogen Bond Interactions with the molecules of Water.
                   Whereas, Myristic Acid contains a long chain of carbon which is non polar in nature. So, due to this non polar carbon chain no such interactions are formed as formed in case of Lactic Acid. Still the less solubility found is due to the interaction of Carboxylic group of Myristic Acid with water molecules, which is comparatively very less.</span>

Starting with 6.3 g of salicylic acid, how many grams of acetylsalicylic acid (theoretical yield) can be made? Assume salicylic
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

We will produce 8.2 grams of acetylsalicylic acid

Explanation:

step 1: Data given

Mass of salicylic acid, = 6.3 grams

Molar mass salicylic acid = 138.12 g/mol

Molar mass of acetylsalicylic acid = 180.158 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

C7H6O3 + C4H6O3 → C9H8O4 + C2H4O2

Step 3: Calculate moles salicylic acid

Moles salicylic acid = mass salicylic acid / molar mass salicylic acid

Moles salicylic acid = 6.3 grams / 138.12 g/mol

Moles salicylic acid = 0.0456 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles acetylsalicylic acid

Since the mole ratio is 1 to 1

For 0.0456 moles salicylic acid we'll have 0.0456 moles acetylsalicylic acid

Step 5: Calculate mass acetylsalicylic acid

MAss acetylsalicylic acid = moles acetylsalicylic acid * molar mass acetylsalicylic acid

MAss acetylsalicylic acid = 0.0456 moles * 180.158 g/mol

Mass acetylsalicylic acid = 8.2 grams

We will produce 8.2 grams of acetylsalicylic acid
