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.

If the heat of fusion for water is 334 j/g, how many Jules are needed to melt 45.0 g of ice at 0.0°c?
finlep [7]

Given parameters:

Heat of fusion of water  = 334j/g

Mass of ice  = 45g

Temperature of ice =  0.0°c

Unknown:

Amount of heat needed to melt = ?

Solution:

This is simply a phase change and a latent heat is required in this process.

  To solve this problem; use the mathematical expression below;

             H  = mL

where m is the mass

            L is the heat of fusion of water;

              H  = 45 x 334  = 15030J

The specific heat capacity of gold is 0.128 J/g C. How much would be needed to warm 250.0 grams of gold from 25.0 C to 100.0 C.
madam [21]

Answer:

3,200 joules

Explanation:

q = mcΔT = (250.0 g)(0.128 j/g°C)(100°C -25°C) = 3,200 joules

Which of the following are accurate descriptions of closed and open thermodynamic processes? open processes are 'flow through' p
Shalnov [3]

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

According to thermodynamics, a closed system is defined as the system in which there will be no exchange of matter takes place but there will be exchange of energy between the system and surrounding.

On the other hand, an open system is defined as the system in which there will be exchange of both matter and energy takes place between system and surrounding.

Hence, we can conclude that out of the given options accurate descriptions of closed and open thermodynamic processes is that open processes are 'flow through' processes.
