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

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.

The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2(aq)) is proposed to follow a reaction mechanism of: Step 1: H2O2(aq) + Br–(aq)→H2O(
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Option (1) Br– is the catalyst, and the reaction follows a faster pathway with Br– than without

Explanation:

Let us consider the equation below:

Step 1:

H2O2(aq) + Br–(aq) → H2O(l) + BrO–(aq)

Step 2:

BrO–(aq) + H2O2(aq) → H2O(l) + O2(g) + Br–(aq)

From the above equation, we can see that Br– is unchanged.

This implies that Br– is the catalyst as catalyst does not take part in a chemical reaction but they create an alternate pathway to lower the activation energy in order for the reaction to proceed at a much faster rate to arrive at the products.

Given that the density of iron is 7.9 g/cm3, what would be the volume of a 15.8 g piece of iron
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

2cm^3

Explanation:

Use the density triangle: D=MxV

Switch for variables, V=M/D

Plug in numbers, 15.8g/7.9g/cm^3=2cm^3

Answer:

c = 0.898 J/g.°C

Explanation:

1) Given data:

Mass of water = 23.0 g

Initial temperature = 25.4°C

Final temperature = 42.8° C

Heat absorbed = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

Specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/g°C

ΔT = 42.8°C - 25.4°C

ΔT = 17.4°C

Q = 23.0 g ×  × 4.18 J/g°C × 17.4°C

Q = 1672.84 j

2) Given data:

Mass of metal = 120.7 g

Initial temperature = 90.5°C

Final temperature = 25.7 ° C

Heat released = 7020 J

Specific heat capacity of metal = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT = 25.7°C - 90.5°C

ΔT = -64.8°C

7020 J = 120.7 g ×  c ×  -64.8°C

7020 J = -7821.36 g.°C ×  c

c = 7020 J / -7821.36 g.°C

c = 0.898 J/g.°C

Negative sign shows heat is released.
