Answer: The theoretical yield of aspirin is 4.14 g
Explanation:
To calculate the moles :
mass of acetic anhydride =
According to stoichiometry :
1 mole of salycylic acid require 1 mole of acetic anhydride
Thus 0.023 moles of salycylic acid require=
of acetic anhydride
Thus salycylic acid is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and acetic anhydride is the excess reagent.
As 1 mole of salycylic give = 1 mole of aspirin
Thus 0.023 moles of salycylic acid give =
of aspirin
Mass of aspirin =
Thus theoretical yield of aspirin is 4.14 g
Answer:
D is the answer to this problem
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
If we look at the electron configuration closely, we will discover that the element must have had a ground state electron configuration of 2,4.
This is because, the innermost shell usually holds two electrons while the outer shells hold eight electrons each. The four electrons must be accommodated in the second shell in the ground state configuration of the compound.
However, when the atom is excited, one electron from this shell may move to the third shell to give the excited state configuration 2-3-1 as shown in the question.
