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

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.

Mass = moles x Mr
So in this case the moles =1
And the Mr equals =11
So you would do - 11x1= 11grams

Which statement about the temperatures of phase changes and electrostatic forces holding the molecules is correct?(1 point)
lubasha [3.4K]

The temperature at which phase changes occur is highly dependent on the electrostatic forces between the molecules in the substance.

The forces that hold molecules together are called intermolecular forces. These intermolecular forces affect the temperature at which phase changes occur. The  statement about phase changes and electrostatic forces that is correct is that; "the temperatures at which a substance changes phases indicate the relative strength of the forces between molecules in the substance."

There are three states of matter, solid liquid and gas. The order of intermolecular forces in all the states of matter are not the same. The order of strongest collective electrostatic forces to weakest collective electrostatic forces is; solid, liquid, gas.

When water boils, the forces between water molecules break, and the bonds between the atoms in water are unchanged.

When a sample of calcium carbonate is cooled, the forces strengthen, and the molecule structure becomes more rigid.

If the boiling point of acetone is lower than the boiling point of ethanol, then, the intermolecular forces in ethanol are stronger than the intermolecular forces in acetone.
