Answer:

A

Explanation:

because the species being oxidized shares electrons with the species that is reduced.making the oxidized element positively charged and the reduced element negatively charged.

I hope this helps

Calculate the theoretical yield of aspirin obtained when 2.0 g of salicylic acid and 5.0 mL of acetic anhydride (density = 1.08
saw5 [17]

Answer:

The percent yield would be 73%

Explanation:

The balanced reaction for the obtention of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) is the following:

Salicylic acid + acetic anhydride → acetylsalicylic acid + acetic acid

C₇H₆O₃          +          C₄H₆O₃        →         C₉H₈O₄           +    C₂H₄O₂

According to the reaction, 1 mol of salicylic acid reacts with 1 mol of acetic anhydride to give 1 mol of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) and 1 mol of acetic acid.

1 mol aspirin (C₉H₈O₄) = (9 x 12 g/mol) + (8 x 1 g/mol) + (4 x 16 g/mol)

                                     = 180 g

1 mol salicylic acid (C₇H₆O₃) = (7 x 12 g/mol) + (6 x 1 g/mol) + (3 x 16 g/mol)

                                              = 138 g

1 mol acetic anhydride (C₄H₆O₃) = (4 x 12 g/mol) + (6 x 1 g/mol) + (3 x 16 g/mol)

                                                      = 102 g

The stoichiometric ratio is = 138 g salicylic acid/102 g acetic anhydride= 1.35

We have:

2.0 g salicylic acid

acetic anhydride = 5.0 mL x 1.08 g/mL = 5.4 g

The reactants ratio is = 2.0 g salicylic acid/5.4 g acetic anhydride = 0.37

0.37 < 1.35 , therefore <em>salicylic acid is the limiting reactant</em>.

Now, we use the amount of salicylic acid to calculate the theoretical amount of aspirin. For this, we know that 1 mol of aspirin (180 g) is obtained from 1 mol of salycilic acid (138 g):

theoretical yield= 180 g aspirin/138 g salycilic acid x 2.0 g salycilic acid = 2.61 g aspirin

actual yield = 1.9 g

Finally, we calculate the yield:

percent yield = actual yield/theoretical yield x 100

        = 1.9 g/2.6 g x 100 = 72.8% ≅ 73%

A gas is at a pressure of 4.30 atm. what is this pressure in kilopascals? in mm hg?
Monica [59]
Units to measure pressure are as follows
atm - atmospheric pressure units
kPa - kilo Pascals
mm Hg - milimeters Hg
conversion units are;
 1 atm = 101 325 Pa
therefore 4.30 atm = 101 325 Pa / atm x 4.30 atm = 435.7 Pa

1 atm = 760.0 mm Hg
 4.30 atm = 760.0 mm Hg / atm x 4.30 atm = 3268 mm Hg

answers are 435.7 Pa and 3268 mm Hg

If your lawn is 21.0 ft wide and 20.0 ft long, and each square foot of lawn accumulates 1350 new snow flakes every minute. How m
klemol [59]
Let us start with the total area of the lawn. Area= width x length, ie, 21 x 20 = 420 sq. ft.   Snow flakes per square foot per minute = 1350  So Snow flakes for 420 sq.feet per minute = 420 x 1350 = 567000.   Snow flakes for 1 hour = 567000 x 60 = 34020000 (60 minutes)  Weight of 34020000 snow flakes = 34020000 x 1.60 = 54432000mg.  To convert it into kilograms, divide this number by 1000000 (1 kilogram = 1000000 milligrams)  Thus 54432000/1000000 = 54.432 kilograms or 54 kilograms and 432 grams.
