Could you use naoh to separate aspirin and acetaminophen by acid base extraction

Chemistry

if you are careful. aspirin is strongly acidic and tylenol is weakly acidic. if you split the difference between the two, you can deprotonate aspirin without deprotonating tylenol. more specifically, if you use NaOH to raise the pH of a solution to approximately 7 or 8, you could effectively deprotonate all of the aspirin, making it water soluble, while leaving the tylenol protonated and not very water soluble. if the pH goes above 10, you will deprotonate the tylenol and make them both water soluble. HOPE THIS HELPED :)

How many moles of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen are present in a 100-g sample of ascorbic acid?
Y_Kistochka [10]

There are:

3.41 moles of C

4.54 moles of H

3.40 moles of O.

Why?

To solve the problem, the first thing that we need to do is to write the chemical formula of the ascorbic acid.

C_{6}H_{8}O_{6}

Now, we know that there are 100 grams of the compound, so, the masses of each element will represent the percent in the compound.

We have that:

C_{6}=12.0107g*6=72.08g\\\\H_{8}=1.008g*8=8.064g\\\\O_{6}=15.999g*6=95.994g\\\\C_{6}H_{8}O_{6}=72.08g+8.064g+95.994g=176.138g

To know the percent of each element, we need to to the following:

C=\frac{72.08g}{176.138g}*100=0.409*100=40.92(percent)\\\\H=\frac{8.064g}{176.138g}*100=4.58(percent)\\\\O=\frac{95.994}{176.138g}*100=54.49(percent)

So, we know that for the 100 grams of the compound, there are:

40.92 grams of C

4.58 grams of H

54.49 grams of O

We know the molecular masses of each element:

C=12.0107\frac{g}{mol}\\\\H=1.008\frac{g}{mol}\\\\O=15.999\frac{g}{mol}{mol}

Now, to calculate the number of moles of each element, we need to divide the mass of each element by the molecular mass of each element:

C=\frac{40.92g}{12.010\frac{g}{mol}}=3.41mol\\\\H=\frac{4.58g}{1.008\frac{g}{mol}}=4.54mol\\\\O=\frac{54.49g}{15.999\frac{g}{mol}}=3.40mol

Hence, we have that there are 3.41 moles of C, 4.54 moles of H, and 3.40 moles of O.

Have a nice day!

1.66 M is the concentration of the chemist's working solution.

<h3>What is molarity?</h3>

Molarity (M) is the amount of a substance in a certain volume of solution. Molarity is defined as the moles of a solute per litres of a solution. Molarity is also known as the molar concentration of a solution.

In this case, we have a solution of Zn(NO₃)₂.

The chemist wants to prepare a dilute solution of this reactant.

The stock solution of the nitrate has a concentration of 4.93 M, and he wants to prepare 620 mL of a more dilute concentration of the same solution. He adds 210 mL of the stock and completes it with water until it reaches 620 mL.

We want to know the concentration of this diluted solution.

As we are working with the same solution, we can assume that the moles of the stock solution will be conserved in the diluted solution so:

n_1= n_2  (1)

and we also know that:

n = M x V_2

If we replace this expression in (1) we have:

M_1 x V_1= M_2 x V_2

Where 1, would be the stock solution and 2, the solution we want to prepare.

So, we already know the concentration and volume used of the stock solution and the desired volume of the diluted one, therefore, all we have to do is replace the given data in (2) and solve for the concentration which is M_2:

4.93 x 210 =  620 xM_2

M_2 = 1.66 M

This is the concentration of the solution prepared.

Why does a 4 carbon linear alkane, butane c4h10, have two more hydrogens ?
Scilla [17]
Alkanes are hydrocarbons that only contain single bonds in them. A carbon can bond with up to 4 atoms, even with another carbon atom. So, in a C-C bond, 3 more H atoms can bond to each of the C atom. Generally, the chemical formula for alkanes is CₓH₂ₓ₊₂. So for butane, there are 4 C atoms. The corresponding H atoms are 2(4) + 2 = 10. That's why it's chemical formula is C₄H₁₀.
