Aspirin synthesis involves the addition of an acetyl group to salicylic acid in a condensation reaction with an alcohol. The ace

tyl group could be added with a carboxylic acid but the preferred procedure is to use the acid anhydride. Why is preferable to use an acid anhydride for ester formation with an alcohol rather than a carboxylic acid

Nonamiya [84]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The synthesis of asprin involves the;

i) Hydrolysis of Methyl salicylate

ii) Reaction of salicylic acid with acid anhydride

The chemical name of asprin is acetylsalicylic acid.

It is preferable to use an acid anhydride for ester formation with an alcohol rather than a carboxylic acid because we will not produce water which can then cause the hydrolysis of the newly formed ester.

Which of the following chemical reactions is an oxidation-reduction reaction? CuSO4 + BaCl2 yields BaSO4 + CuCl2 Pb(NO3)2 + 2NaC
Ratling [72]
The answer is N2 + 3H2 yields 2NH3. The oxidation-reduction reaction means that there is electrons transfer during the reaction which means that the valence changed.

When 1 mol of KBr(s) decomposes to its elements, 394 kJ of heat is absorbed. (a) Write a balanced thermochemical equation.
VladimirAG [237]

The balanced thermochemical equation is

KBr ------- K + 1/2 Br2

<h3>What is thermochemical equation? </h3>

A Thermochemical Equation is defined as the balanced stoichiometric chemical equation which includes the enthalpy change, ΔH.

The chemical equation for the decomposition of potassium bromide to its constituent elements bromine ans potassium :

KBr ----- K + Br2

The balanced thermochemical equation of the decomposition of potassium bromide to its constituent elements potassium and bromide as follows

KBr ------- K + 1/2 Br2

As the heat is absorbed in this reaction therefore, heat is positive.

Thus, we concluded that the balanced thermochemical equation is

KBr ------- K + 1/2 Br2

Based on the vibrational difference you observed, state a hypothesis to explain why diatomic molecules in the air, such as oxyge
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The ability of a gas to function as a green house gas depends on its ability to absorb infra red rays. In turn, the absorption of infrared red rays depends on whether or not the molecule is IR active.

The triatomic molecules such as methane and water are IR active. Only IR active molecules can lead to green house effect.

Note that for a molecular vibrational mode to be IR active, the dipole moment of the molecule is changed as the vibration occurs .
