Which of the following is considered an alternative energy resource?

Aspirin (C9H8O4) is synthesized by reacting salicylic acid (C7H6O3) with acetic anhydride (C4H6O3). The balanced equation isC7H6

prisoha [69]

Answer:

For a: The mass of acetic anhydride needed is 73.91 grams.

For b: The theoretical yield of aspirin is 130.43 grams.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For a:

Given mass of salicylic acid = $1.00\times 10^2g=100g$

Molar mass of salicylic acid = 138.121 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of salicylic acid}=\frac{100g}{138.121g/mol}=0.724mol$

For the given chemical reaction:

$C_7H_6O_3+C_4H_6O_3\rightarrow C_9H_8O_4+CH_3COOH$

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of salicylic acid reacts with 1 mole of acetic anhydride.

So, 0.724 moles of salicylic acid will react with = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.724=0.724mol$ of acetic anhydride.

Now, to calculate the mass of acetic anhydride, we use equation 1:

Moles of acetic anhydride = 0.724 moles

Molar mass of acetic anhydride = 102.09 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.724mol=\frac{\text{Mass of acetic anhydride}}{102.09g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of acetic anhydride}=73.91g$

Hence, the mass of acetic anhydride needed is 73.91 grams.

For b:

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of salicylic acid is producing 1 mole of aspirin.

So, 0.724 moles of salicylic acid will produce = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.724=0.724mol$ of aspirin.

Now, to calculate the mass of aspirin, we use equation 1:

Moles of aspirin = 0.724 moles

Molar mass of aspirin = 180.158 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.724mol=\frac{\text{Mass of aspirin}}{180.158g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of aspirin}=130.43g$

Hence, the theoretical yield of aspirin is 130.43 grams.

Assuming 100% dissociation, calculate the freezing point and boiling point (in °C) of a solution with 83.6 g of AgNO 3 in 1.00 k

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

Freezing point: - 1.83ºC

Boiling point: 100.50ºC

Explanation:

The freezing point and boiling point of solvents, when a solute is added, will change accordingly to the concentration of the solute particles.

The freezing point will decrease and the boiling point will increase. These are two colligative properties.

Calculate for the following electrochemical cell at 25°C, Pt H2(g) (1.0 atm) H (0.010 M || Ag (0.020 M) Ag if E (H) - +0.000 V a

viva [34]

Answer : The correct option is, (b) +0.799 V

Solution :

The values of standard reduction electrode potential of the cell are:

$E^0_{[H^{+}/H_2]}=+0.00V$

$E^0_{[Ag^{+}/Ag]}=+0.799V$

From the cell representation we conclude that, the hydrogen (H) undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons and thus act as anode. Silver (Ag) undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.

The half reaction will be:

Reaction at anode (oxidation) : $H_2\rightarrow 2H^{+}+2e^-$

Reaction at cathode (reduction) : $Ag^{+}+1e^-\rightarrow Ag$

The balanced cell reaction will be,

$H_2+2Ag^{+}\rightarrow 2H^{+}+2Ag$

Now we have to calculate the standard electrode potential of the cell.

$E^o_{cell}=E^o_{cathode}-E^o_{anode}$

$E^o_{cell}=E^o_{[Ag^{+}/Ag]}-E^o_{[H^{+}/H_2]}$

$E^o_{cell}=(+0.799V)-(+0.00V)=+0.799V$

Therefore, the standard cell potential will be +0.799 V

Which of the following is malleable? A. glass B. pottery C. ice D. gold

gogolik [260]

The answer is D. Gold. Malleability, the ability for a material to be hammered or shaped into thin sheets, is a common property of metals. Among the choices, gold is the only metal. Also, gold is considered to be the most malleable metal.
