Answer:

a. The formula for tritoborate ion is B₃O₈²⁻

b. The formula of the compound formed will be Fe₂(B₃O₈)₃ and the name will be Iron (iii) tritoborate

Explanation:

The formation of compounds by atoms of elements occurs in accordance with the valencies of the elements. Valency refers to the combining power of an element. For metallic elements, it is usually the number of electrons they can give up or lose while for non-metallic elements, it is the number of electrons they can accept. The valency of an atom of an element is related to its oxidation number. Metals have positive oxidation numbers while non-metals have negative oxidation numbers. Sometimes, two or more atoms combine together and react as a single unit and may carry a positive or negative charge. These are known as a radicals. For example, ammonium ion, NH₄⁺.

In the given question, calcium tritoborate, CaB₃O₈ is formed from the combination of calcium ion and tritoborate ion. Calcium ion carries the charge of +2, therefore, the tritoborate ion must have a charge of -2 in order to form a compound since the overal charge on a compound is zero.

a. let the tritoborate ion be represented by X

Ca = +2, X = ?

+2 + X = 0

X = -2

Thus, the formula for tritoborate ion is B₃O₈²⁻

b. When tritoborate ion combines with iron (iii) ion, Fe³⁺, two moles of Fe³⁺ will be required to react with three moles of B₃O₈²⁻ in order to have a neutral compound. The formula of the compound formed will be: Fe₂(B₃O₈)₃ and the name will be Iron (iii) tritoborate

Answer:

Round to the number of significant figures in the original question. However, if you're going to proceed with further calculations using this mass, it's best not to round, as rounding will cause your answer to be less precise.

Aspirin sun thesis Green Chemistry and Assime the aspirin is prepared by the following reaction and that 10.09. of salicylic aci
klemol [59]

<u>Answer:</u> The percentage yield of aspirin is 38.02 %.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}      .....(1)

  • <u>For salicylic acid:</u>

Given mass of salicylic acid (C_7H_6O_3) = 10.09 g

Molar mass of salicylic acid (C_7H_6O_3) = 138.12 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of salicylic acid}=\frac{10.09g}{138.12g/mol}=0.0730mol

The chemical equation for the formation of aspirin follows:

C_7H_6O_3+C_4H_6O_3\rightarrow C_9H_8O_4+CH_3COOH

As, acetic anhydride is present in excess. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, salicylic acid is a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of products.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of salicylic acid produces 1 mole of aspirin.

So, 0.0730 moles of salicylic acid will produce = \frac{1}{1}\times 0.0730=0.0730mol of aspirin

Now, calculating the mass of aspirin from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of aspirin = 180.16 g/mol

Moles of aspirin = 0.073 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.073mol=\frac{\text{Mass of aspirin}}{180.16g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of aspirin}=13.15g

To calculate the percentage yield of aspirin, we use the equation:

\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100

Experimental yield of aspirin = 5.0 g

Theoretical yield of aspirin = 13.15 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\%\text{ yield of aspirin}=\frac{5.0g}{13.15g}\times 100\\\\\% \text{yield of aspirin}=38.02\%

Hence, the percent yield of aspirin is 38.01 %.

Ice floats on water. For most other substances, however, the solid sinks in the liquid. Classify each of these statements based
sattari [20]

Answer:

1.High pressure will cause the liquid to become solid :

<u>Describe both water and other substances</u>

2.High pressure will cause the solid to become liquid <u>:</u>

<u>It describe none : neither water nor other substances </u>

<u>This statement is :False for both water and other substances</u>

3.The solid is more dense than the liquid :

It describe other substance

<u>This statement is :False for water but true for other substances.</u>

4. In a phase diagram, the solid-liquid coexistence line has a negative slope.

It describes water:

<u>This statement is :True for water because solid ice is less dense than liquid water.</u>

<u>False for other substance, they have positive slope</u>

5.The molecules are closest in the liquid phase.

<u>This statement is :False for water and other substances </u>

6.The solid is less dense than the liquid:

It Describes water because ice is less dense than liquid water

7. In a phase diagram, the solid-liquid coexistence line has a positive slope.

It describe other substances

<u>This statement is :True for other substances  but false for water</u>

8. The molecules are closest in the solid phase :

<u>Describes both water and other substances </u>

Explanation:

<u>Answers to statement 1 , 2,5 and 8</u>

<u>Answers to statement 1 , 2</u>

On increasing pressure and decreasing temperature , There occur<u> Phase transition</u> always for every substance :

From liquid to solid and gas to liquid

Hence,

In Both for water and other substance

<u>High pressure will cause the liquid to become solid.</u>

<u>Answers to statement 5,8 :</u>

2.The Particles of solid are closely packed hence there is maximum force of attraction between the particle of solid as compared to liquid and gases .

Hence , The molecules <u>of both water and other substance</u>s are closest in the solid phase

This also means that in liquid molecules are far apart .

Rest statement : 3, 4 ,6 ,7 are explained below(see attached image)

<u>The molecules are closest in the liquid phase is false statement  and does not describe both water and other substance</u>

<u>Ice floats on water. For most other substances, however, the solid sinks in the liquid.</u>

This can be explained using the phase diagram of <u>water </u>:

The line DB is  = the solid-liquid coexistence line

It has negative slope because , solid ice is less dense than liquid water . That is why ice floats on water because its density is less than water

Hence <u>Water is described truly by statement 4,6, </u>which are :

4. the solid-liquid coexistence line has a negative slope.

6.The solid is less dense than the liquid.

Rest 3,7 = describe by other substance

<u>other substance</u> : Solid  is more dense than the liquid ,the solid-liquid coexistence line has a positive slope
