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.

When chlorine and magnesium react chemically, how many chlorine atoms will combine with one magnesium atom?
Lesechka [4]
Magnesium is divalent. This means that one magnesium atom needs to lose 2 electrons in order to become stable.

Chlorine, on the other hand, is monovalent. This means that one chlorine atom needs to gain one electron in order to become stable.

Based on this, one magnesium atom will combine with two chlorine atoms, where the magnesium loses two electrons, one for each chlorine.

The formula of the compound formed is: MgCl2

How is graphite different from other allotropes of carbon?
vladimir1956 [14]

B) The carbon atoms in graphite are arranged in widely spaced layers

Explanation:

Graphite is different from other allotropes of carbon because the carbon atoms in graphite are arranged in widely spaced layers. Graphite and diamond are the two main allotropes of carbon that are closely related.

  • Both allotropes forms under extreme temperature and pressure. In geology, they are categorized as derivatives of changed rocks.
  • Graphite is different from carbon because its atoms are arranged in widely spaced layers.
  • Diamond has a packed and cross-linked structure that makes it rigid and very hard.

Balance the following equations: (c) H2(g)+I2(s)⟶HI(s)H2(g)+I2(s)⟶HI(s)
kenny6666 [7]

Answer: H_2(g)+I_2(g)\rightarrow 2HI(s)

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

Thus in the reactants, there are 2 atoms of hydrogen and 2 atoms of iodine .Thus there has to be 2 atoms of hydrogen and 2 atoms of iodine in the product as well. Thus a coefficient of 2 is placed in front of HI.

The balanced chemical reaction is:

H_2(g)+I_2(g)\rightarrow 2HI(s)
