Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Aspirin is a very important pain killer. The production of aspirin involves a reaction between salicylic acid and excess acetic anhydride.

Usually, a small amount of a mineral acid is added as a catalyst.

Aspirin is actually acetyl salicylic acid. When this substance is formed, the substance is not really soluble in water. Addition of water leads to the precipitation of the aspirin product.

Hence, the addition of water is mostly to precipitate the pure aspirin product after reaction.

Consider a sample of helium and a sample of neon, both at 30.0°C and 1.5 atm. Both samples have a volume of 5.0 liters. Which st
Triss [41]

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

Using the ideal gas equation, we can calculate the number of moles present. I.e

PV = nRT

Since all the parameters are equal for both gases, we can simply deduce that both has the same number of moles of gases.

The relationship between the mass of each sample and the number of moles can be seen in the relation below :

mass in grammes = molar mass in g/mol × number of moles.

Now , we have established that both have the same number of moles. For them to have the same mass, they must have the same molar masses which is not possible.

Hence option A is wrong

How many milliseconds are there in 3.5 seconds
maw [93]
There are 3,500 milliseconds in a second.

One second contains 1,000 milliseconds. Three seconds contain 3,000 milliseconds. Half of three hours, therefore, would contain 3,500 milliseconds.

30.0L of helium gas into moles of helium gas.​
zepelin [54]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

1.25 moles (R.T.P.) or 1.34 moles (S.T.P.)

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • 1 mole of a gas occupies a volume of 24 liters at room temperature and pressure (R.T.P.)
  • On the other hand, 1 mole of a gas will occupy 22.4 Liters at standard temperature and pressure (S.T.P.)

Therefore, at R.T.P.

30.0 Liters will be equivalent to;

= 30.0 L ÷ 24 L

= 1.25 moles

At S.T.P

30.0 Liters will be equivalent to;

= 30.0 L ÷ 22.4 L

= 1.34 moles

Thus, 30.0 L of helium gas are equivalent to 1.25 moles of He at R.T.P. and 1.34 moles at S.T.P.
