What can you infer about aspirin’s ester group?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Reil [10]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Option B, aspirin’s ester group provides greater digestibility to aspirin

Explanation:

Aspirin ester group has three parts

  1. carboxylic acid functional group (R-COOH)
  2. ester functional group (R-O-CO-R')
  3. aromatic group (benzene ring)

Aspirin is a weak acid and hence it cannot dissolve in water readily. The reaction of Aspirin ester group with water is as follows -

aspirin

(acetylsalicylic acid) + water → salicylic acid + acetic acid

(ethanoic acid)

Aspirin passes through the stomach and remains unchanged until it reaches the intestine where it hydrolyses ester to form the active compound.

A resting adult requires about 240 ml of pure oxygen/mind and breathes about 12 times every minute. if inhaled air contains 20 p
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

12 times breathe give 240 ml of pure O_{2}. Each breathe gives 20 ml of O_{2}.

Let us consider, volume of air per breathe= x ml.

Pure O_{2} from inhaled air= \frac{20}{100}x ml and Pure O_{2} from exhaled air= \frac{16}{100}x ml.

Pure O_{2} from inhaled and exhaled air= 20 ml

So, \frac{20}{100}x + \frac{16}{100}x = 20

Therefore, x = 55.5 ml

So, volume of air per breath= 55.5 ml.

Why does one Oxygen atom bond with two Hydrogen atoms to form water? Why don't they bond in a different ratio?
Vladimir79 [104]

This is because oxygen (2.8.6) requires two electrons on its valence shell to attain stable configuration (2.8.8). Hydrogen (1) on the other hand requires one electron on its valence shell to attain stable configuration (2). Therefore in a covalent bond, it requires two hydrogen and one oxygen to share electrons and achieve stable configuration.
