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

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.

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

Physical properties are changes in color, weight, mass, density, volume, whether it is freezing, tarnishing, boiling, etc. while chemical properties are changes in the compound of the object such as whether an object is/isn't flammable, affected by acid, it dissolves, ferments, rots, ignites in water, etc.

Explanation:

Physical property examples: a piece of steel is cut in half, a sugar cube is ground up into a powder, ice melts into water, clouds form in the sky, you mow the lawn, the water turned purple when you dropped red and blue dye in it, leaves grow in the spring, ethyl alcohol boils at 79° C, you cut apples up

Chemical property examples: pancakes cook on the griddle, fireworks explode in th sky, Alka-Seltzer gives off carbon dioxide when added to water, roasting a marshmellow, milk sours when left on the counter, burning wood in a bonfire, salt dissolves in water, food is digested in the stomach

A 453 g piece of glass at 25.7∘C is left outside on a sunny day. How much heat must the glass absorb from the sun in order to re
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

Q = 5555.6J

Explanation:

Mass of glass piece, m = 453g

initial temperature = 25.7°C

temperature to be attained = 40.3°C

⇒change in temperature, Δt = 40.3 - 25.7 = 14.6°C

specific heat of glass, s = 0.840J/g°C

Heat absorbed, Q = msΔt

⇒Q = 453×0.840×14.6 = 5555.592J

⇒<u>Q = 5555.6J</u> (rounded to the nearest tenth)

List the subshells that hold the 25 electrons in a<br> manganese atom in order of increasing energy
jonny [76]

Answer:

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d5

Explanation:

According to the Aufbau principle, electrons are filled in orbitals in order of increasing energy. The energy of orbitals in the electronic configuration of manganese increases from left to right, hence 3d orbital is much greater in energy than a 3p orbital.

The arrangement of orbitals in order of increasing energy is shown in the answer above.

Indicate the number of significant figures in the measured number 0.0020 <br> A. 4<br> B. 5<br> C. 2
Sergio [31]

<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is C. 2.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given the number '0.0020' and we are to indicate the number of significant figures in the given measured number.

According to the rules of significant figures, numbers that are non-zero, zeros between any two significant numbers and the ending zeros in the decimal position are categorized as significant figures.

Since there is one non-zero number and one ending zero in the decimal position, therefore 0.0020 has 2 significant figures.
