What gives bases their properties?

1 answer:

Bases are iconic compounds that produce negative hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water. Bases taste bitter, feel slippery, and conduct electricity when dissolved in water.... Bases turn red litmus paper blue. The strength of bases is measured on the pH scale.

Salicylic acid (C7H6O3) reacts with acetic anhydride (C4H6O3) to form acetylsalicylic acid (C9H8O4).

zavuch27 [327]

Answer : The correct option is, (B) Salicylic acid

Solution :

First we have to calculate the moles of salicylic acid and acetic anhydride.

$\text{Moles of }C_7H_6O_3=\frac{\text{Mass of }C_7H_6O_3}{\text{Molar mass of }C_7H_6O_3}=\frac{70g}{138.121g/mole}=0.507moles$

$\text{Moles of }C_4H_6O_3=\frac{\text{Mass of }C_4H_6O_3}{\text{Molar mass of }C_4H_6O_3}=\frac{80g}{102.09g/mole}=0.783moles$

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$2C_7H_6O_3(aq)+C_4H_6O_3(aq)\rightarrow 2C_9H_8O_4(aq)+H_2O(l)$

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 2 moles of salicylic acid react with 1 mole of acetic anhydride

So, 0.507 moles of salicylic acid react with $\frac{0.507}{2}=0.2535$ mole of acetic anhydride

The excess of acetic anhydride = 0.783 - 0.2535 = 0.5295 moles

That means the in the given balanced reaction, salicylic acid is a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of products and acetic anhydride is an excess reagent.

Hence, the limiting reagent is, salicylic acid.
