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.

An element has an atomic number of 18 and an atomic mass of 40. The number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom of this element
Vikentia [17]

Answer: 22 neutrons

Explanation: 40 is the mass number = atomic mass = total number of protons and neutrons in atomic nucleus

18 is the number of protons in the nucleus of this atom

Then 40 - 18 = 22 neutrons

and this is Argon

What is the MOST important advantage of using ethanol as a fuel
wolverine [178]

Answer:

The correct answer is - A. Ethanol reduces air pollution.

Explanation:

Ethanol is believed to be better fuel for the environment than other petroleum fuels. Ethanol emits lower carbon dioxide as it is clean smokeless fuel, and produces less or the same oxides of nitrogen and hydrocarbons.

It is produced by the process of fermentation of molasses by yeast. Mixing it with the other fuels is found to be CO2 reduces by 30% of emissions to the atmosphere.

Iron(II) chloride is formed from the reaction between iron and copper(II) chloride. Fe + CuCl2 FeCl2 + Cu If the reactants have
sertanlavr [38]

Answer: see figure attached and explanation below.

Explanation:

1) Chemical equation (given):

Fe + CuCl₂ → Cu + FeCl₂

2) ΔHf reactants: -256 kJ/mol (given)

3) ΔHf products: - 321 kJ/mol (given)

4) ΔH reaction = ΔHf products - ΔHf reactants = - 321 kJ/mol - (- 256 kJ/mol) = - 65 kJ/mol

5) Conclusion:

i) Since ΔHf of products is less (more negative) than ΔHf of reactants, the reaction is exhotermic: the reaction released energy, which is the reason why the products content less potential energy than the reactants.

ii) Then, the energy diagram is the typical one of an exothermic reaction: the products start a certain potential energy level, the energy incrases until reaching the activation energy (the energy barrier to form the activated complex) and then energy decreases until a level below the energy of the reactants.

iii) See the attached figure with such kind of diagram showing the products at a lower level than the reactans

while doing a lab, a student found the density of a piece of pure aluminum to be 2.85 g/cm^3. the accepted value for the density
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Percent error = 5.6%

Explanation:

Given data:

Measured value of density by students = 2.85 g/cm³

Accepted density of aluminium = 2.70 g/cm³

Percent error = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Percent error = [ Measured value - accepted value / accepted value ]× 100

Now we will put the values in formula:

Percent error = [ 2.85 g/cm³  - 2.70 g/cm³ / 2.70 g/cm³ ]× 100

Percent error = [0.15/2.70 g/cm³ ] × 100

Percent error = 0.056× 100

Percent error = 5.6%
