Atoms are made of 3 types of subatomic particles ; protons, neutrons and electrons

protons and neutrons are located inside the nucleus and electrons are found in energy shells around the nucleus. Protons are positively charged, electrons are negatively charged and neutrons are neutral. elements in their ground state are neutral with equal amounts of protons and electrons.

Atomic number is the number of protons. atomic number is characteristic for the element.

atomic number of Be is 4 therefore Be has 4 protons

answer is B. 4

Beryllium has an atomic number of four so has four protons in its nucleus. The atomic number shows how many protons are in the nucleus so once this number is known then the answer can be ascertained and recorded as such.

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.

What is the purpose of a catalyst?

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer: A. To change the potential energy of the reactants.

Explanation:
Catalysts make such a breaking and rebuilding happen more efficiently. They do this by lowering the activation energy for the chemical reaction. Activation energy is the amount of energy needed to allow the chemical reaction to occur. The catalyst just changes the path to the new chemical partnership.

What is the concentration of a solution that is 0.25 moles of HCL added to 3.00L of water?

Lina20 [59]

Answer: 0.08 M

Explanation:

$\text{molarity}=\frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{liters of solution}}\\\\\text{molarity}=\frac{0.25}{3.00}\\\\\text{molarity}=\boxed{0.08 \text{ M}}$
