Answer:

With the phenol of the salicylic acid.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we take into account that ferric chloride, FeCl₃, easyly reacts with phenol groups, in fact, that is one way to qualitatively substantiate the presence of phenols in an organic sample. Phenol groups are those hydroxiles (-OH) attached to an aromatic ring. Now, if FeCl₃ is added to a substance containing phenol functional groups, it will turn purple. For this case, since aspirin does not have any phenol group, in contrast to salicylic acid, which is used to produce aspirin, but actually has a phenol group, the aspirin sample will not react while the salicylic acid will turning purple, due to the aforesaid reason. Such purple color is shown off as a result of the formation of an iron-containing complex or chelant.

Best regards.

4.2g of cerium reacted with oxygen to form 5.16g of an oxide of cerium. Find

olganol [36]

Answer:

CeO₂

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since we are given the mass of both cerium and the cerium oxide, we can first compute the moles of cerium and the moles of oxygen as shown below:

$n_{Ce}=4.2gCe*\frac{1molCe}{140.12gCe}=0.03molCe\\$

$m_O=5.16g-4.2g=0.96gO\\\\n_O=0.96g*\frac{1molO}{16.0gO} =0.06molO$

Now, we simply divide each moles by 0.03 as the fewest moles in the formula to obtain the simplest formula (empirical formula) of this oxide:

$Ce=\frac{0.03}{0.03}=1\\\\O =\frac{0.06}{0.03}=2$

Thus, the formula turns out:

$CeO_2$

Regards!

A buffer solution is made using a weak acid, HA. If the pH of the buffer is 9 and the ratio of A– to HA is 100, what is the pKa

sdas [7]

To calculate the pKa of the weak acid, we use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation. It is expressed as pH = pKa - log [HA]/[A-]. This equation takes into account the concentration of the substance that does not dissociates into ions since it is a weak acid. We caculate as follows:

pH = pKa - log [HA]/[A-]
9 = pKa - log 1/100
pKa = 7
