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.

How does gravity depend on the mass of two objects
AleksAgata [21]

Gravity increases as the mass of either object increases.

<h3>What is gravity?</h3>

Gravity is the force by which a planet or other body draws objects toward its centre. The force of gravity keeps all of the planets in orbit around the sun.

Since the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of both interacting objects, more massive objects will attract each other with a greater gravitational force. So as the mass of either object increases, the force of gravitational attraction between them also increases.

Calculate the mass of one mole of these substances.
pogonyaev

Answer:

a. 53.5 g/mol

b. 80.06 g/mol

c. 133.33 g/mol

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Chemistry - Atomic Structure</u>

  • Reading a Periodic Table
  • Molar Mass - 1 mol per <em>x</em> grams substance

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

a. NH₄Cl

b. NH₄NO₃

c. AlCl₃

<u>Step 2: Find masses</u>

Molar Mass of N - 14.01 g/mol

Molar Mass of H - 1.01 g/mol

Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of Al - 26.98 g/mol

Molar Mass of Cl - 35.45 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Calculate compound masses</u>

Molar Mass of NH₄Cl - 14.01 g/mol + 4(1.01 g/mol) + 35.45 g/mol = 53.5 g/mol

Molar Mass of NH₄NO₃ - 2(14.01 g/mol) + 4(1.01 g/mol) + 3(16.00 g/mol) = 80.06 g/mol

Molar Mass of AlCl₃ - 26.98 g/mol + 3(35.45 g/mol) = 133.33 g/mol
