Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

According to Bronsted-Lowry, acids are the species that can donate a proton whereas bases are the species that can accept a proton.

For example, $NH_{3} + HCl \rightarrow NH^{+}_{4} + Cl^{-}$

Here, HCl is the acid as it is donating a proton to ammonia.

Arrhenius also stated that acids are the substances that dissociate to give hydrogen ions or protons.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options an acid is a proton donor.

A fuel was burned for 5 min, increasing the temperature of 10.0 g of water with a density of 1.00 g/ml by 9.0 oC. The fuel relea

jekas [21]

The fuel released 90 calories of heat.

Let suppose that water experiments an entirely sensible heating. Hence, the heat released by the fuel is equal to the heat absorbed by the water because of principle of energy conservation. The heat released by the fuel is expressed by the following formula:

$Q = m\cdot c \cdot \Delta T$ (1)

Where:

$m$ - Mass of the sample, in grams.
$c$ - Specific heat of water, in calories per gram-degree Celsius.
$\Delta T$ - Temperature change, in degrees Celsius.

If we know that $m = 10\,g$ , $c = 1\,\frac{cal}{g\cdot ^{\circ}C}$ and $\Delta T = 9\,^{\circ}C$ , then the heat released by the fuel is:

$Q = (10\,g)\cdot \left(1\,\frac{cal}{g\cdot ^{\circ}C} \right)\cdot (9\,^{\circ}C)$

The fuel released 90 calories of heat.

What is the theoretical yield of aspirin ( C 9 H 8 O 4 ), which has a molar mass of 180.15 g/mol, possible when reacting 3.03 g

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

The theoretical yield of aspirin is 3.95 grams

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of salicylic acid = 3.03 grams

Volume of acetic anhydride = 3.61 mL

Density of acetic anhydride = 1.08 g/cm³

Step 2: The balanced equation

C4H6O3+C7H6O3→C9H8O4+C2H4O2

Step 3: Calculate moles salicylic acid

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

Moles salicylic acid = 3.03 grams /138.121 g/mol

Moles salicylic acid = 0.0219 moles

Step 4: Calculate mass acetic anhydride

Mass acetic anhydride = volume * density

Mass acetic anhydride = 3.61 mL * 1.08 g/mL

Mass acetic anhydride = 3.90 grams

Step 5: Calculate moles acetic anhydride

Moles acetic anhydride = 3.90 grams / 102.09 g/mol

Moles acetic anhydride = 0.0382 moles

Step 6: Calculate limiting reactant

For 1 mol salicylic acid we need 1 mol acetic anhydride to produce 1 mol aspirin

Salicylic acid is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed. (0.0219 moles). Acetic anhydride is in excess. There will react 0.0219 moles. There remain 0.0382 - 0.0219 =0.0163 moles

Step 7: Calculate moles aspirin

For 1 mol salicylic acid we need 1 mol acetic anhydride to produce 1 mol aspirin

For 0.0219 moles salicylic acid we'll have 0.0219 moles aspirin

Step 8: Calculate theoretical yield of aspirin

Mass of aspirin = moles aspirin *molar mass aspirin

Mass of aspirin = 0.0219 moles *180.15 g/mol

Mass of aspirin = 3.95 grams

The theoretical yield of aspirin is 3.95 grams
