Some volatile organic compounds can be detected by hydrogeologists in the field or labs because of the ______ emitted from the g

Vadim26 [7]

Volatile organic compounds can be detected by hydrogeologists in the field or labs because of the odor of the vapors emitted from the groundwater and/or soil samples.

<h3>What are volatile substances?</h3>

Volatile substances are substances which can easily vaporize or change to gaseous state.

Volatile substances can either be solids or liquids but are mostly liquids.

Example of volatile substances include ether, petrol, chocolate.

The presence of volatile substances can be detected by the gases they release which may have characteristic odors.

Therefore, volatile organic compounds can be detected by hydrogeologists in the field or labs because of the odor of the vapors emitted from the groundwater and/or soil samples.

Aspirin (C9H8O4) is synthesized by reacting salicylic acid (C7H6O3) with acetic anhydride (C4H6O3). The balanced equation isC7H6

prisoha [69]

Answer:

For a: The mass of acetic anhydride needed is 73.91 grams.

For b: The theoretical yield of aspirin is 130.43 grams.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For a:

Given mass of salicylic acid = $1.00\times 10^2g=100g$

Molar mass of salicylic acid = 138.121 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of salicylic acid}=\frac{100g}{138.121g/mol}=0.724mol$

For the given chemical reaction:

$C_7H_6O_3+C_4H_6O_3\rightarrow C_9H_8O_4+CH_3COOH$

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of salicylic acid reacts with 1 mole of acetic anhydride.

So, 0.724 moles of salicylic acid will react with = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.724=0.724mol$ of acetic anhydride.

Now, to calculate the mass of acetic anhydride, we use equation 1:

Moles of acetic anhydride = 0.724 moles

Molar mass of acetic anhydride = 102.09 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.724mol=\frac{\text{Mass of acetic anhydride}}{102.09g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of acetic anhydride}=73.91g$

Hence, the mass of acetic anhydride needed is 73.91 grams.

For b:

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of salicylic acid is producing 1 mole of aspirin.

So, 0.724 moles of salicylic acid will produce = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.724=0.724mol$ of aspirin.

Now, to calculate the mass of aspirin, we use equation 1:

Moles of aspirin = 0.724 moles

Molar mass of aspirin = 180.158 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.724mol=\frac{\text{Mass of aspirin}}{180.158g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of aspirin}=130.43g$

Hence, the theoretical yield of aspirin is 130.43 grams.

Consider the following system at equilibrium where H° = 111 kJ/mol, and Kc = 6.30, at 723 K.

Rashid [163]

Answer:

1) The value of Kc:

C. remains the same.

2) The value of Qc:

A. is greater than Kc.

3) The reaction must:

B. run in the reverse direction to restablish equilibrium.

4) The concentration of N2 will:

B. decrease.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, by means of the Le Chatelier's principle which is based on the shift a chemical reaction could have under some modifications, we have:

1) The value of Kc:

C. remains the same, since it just depend the reaction's thermodynamics as it is computed via:

$ln(K)=\frac{\Delta _RG}{RT}$

2) The value of Qc:

A. is greater than Kc, since the reaction quotient is:

$Qc=\frac{[N_2][H_2]^3}{[NH_3]^2}$

Thus, the lower the concentration of ammonia, the higher Qc, making Qc>Kc.

3) The reaction must:

B. run in the reverse direction to restablish equilibrium, since ammonia was withdrawn and should be regenerated to reach the equilibrium.

4) The concentration of N2 will:

B. decrease, since less reactant is forming the products.

Best regards.
