In Experiment 1, salicylic acid was treated with an excess of acetic anhydride to synthesize aspirin. Once the reaction went to

completion, water was added to the flask and the solution was heated. What was the primary reason for adding water

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.

Which formula can be used to calculate the molar mass of ammonia
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Since there are 3 Hydrogen atoms present, the formula mass of H is 1.0 × 3 = 3.0 g/mol. Therefore, by adding them up, the formula mass of ammonia is: [14.0 g/mol + 3.0 g/mol] = 17.0 g/mol.

The Ostwald process is used commercially to produce nitric acid, which is, in turn, used in many modern chemical processes. In t
Sloan [31]

Answer:

Mass =  42.8g

Explanation:

4 NH 3 ( g ) + 5 O 2 ( g ) ⟶ 4 NO ( g ) + 6 H 2 O ( g )

Observe that every 4 mole of ammonia requires 5 moles of oxygen to obtain 4 moles of Nitrogen oxide and 6 moles of water.

Step 1: Determine the balanced chemical equation for the chemical reaction.

The balanced chemical equation is already given.

Step 2: Convert all given information into moles (through the use of molar mass as a conversion factor).

Ammonia = 63.4g × 1mol / 17.031 g = 3.7226mol

Oxygen = 63.4g × 1mol / 32g = 1.9813mol

Step 3: Calculate the mole ratio from the given information. Compare the calculated ratio to the actual ratio.

If all of the 1.9831 moles of oxygen were to be used up, there would need to be 1.9831 × 4 / 5 or 1.5865 moles of Ammonia. We have 3.72226 moles of ammonia - Far excess. Because there is an excess of Ammonia, the Oxygen amount is used to calculate the amount of the products in the reaction.

Step 4: Use the amount of limiting reactant to calculate the amount of H2O produced.

5 moles of O2  = 6 moles of H2O

1.9831 moles = x

x = (1.9831 * 6 ) / 5

x = 2.37972 moles

Mass of H2O = Molar mass * Molar mass

Mass = 2.7972 * 18

Mass =  42.8g

G(1)=0 g(n) =g(n-1)+n g(2)=
Aliun [14]
G(2)=2

For this, you can plug in 2 everywhere you see an n. So the equation will read:
g(2)=g(2-1)+2 -> g(2)=g(1)+2. Since we are given g(1)=0, we can plug in 0 where we see g(1). The equation is now. g(2)=0+2. So, g(2)=2.
