Simple molecular substances consist of molecules in which the atoms are joined by strong covalent bonds. Their molecules are held together by weak forces, so these substances have low melting and boiling points. ... They have high melting and boiling points.

Acetylsalicylic acid (C9H8O4) is a monoprotic acid commonly known as aspirin. A typical aspirin tablet, however, contains only a
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

6 grains

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction between NaOH and aspirin is;

C9H8O4(aq) + NaOH (aq) ------>C9H7O4Na(aq) + H2O(l)

Amount of NaOH reacted = concentration × volume = 0.1466 M × 14.40/1000 L = 2.11 × 10^-3 moles

Given that aspirin and NaOH react in a mole ratio of 1:1 from the balanced reaction equation above, the number of moles of aspirin reacted is 2.11 × 10^-3 moles

Hence mass of aspirin reacted = 2.11 × 10^-3 moles × 180.2 g/mol = 0.38 g

If 1 grain = 0.0648 g

x grains = 0.38 g

x= 0.38 g/0.0648 g

x= 6 grains

Which equation represents single replacement reaction? A) CH4 + 2 02 → CO2 + 2 H2O B) CaCO3 + CaO + CO2 C) 2 Na + 2 H2O → 2 NaOH
loris [4]

Answer:

C) 2 Na + 2 H2O → 2 NaOH + H2.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given chemical reactions, it is possible to firstly understand that a single displacement reaction is characterized by the presence of a single element as the first reactant and a compound as the second one, thus, yielding a compound as the first product and a single element as the second one.

In such a way, according to the given choices, it possible to note that C) 2 Na + 2 H2O → 2 NaOH + H2 is the only one with the aforementioned condition as the element at the reactants side is Na and at the products side is H2.

Best regards!
