Does anyone know the simplest way to find the rate constant in rate law chemistry?

Aspirin (C9H8O4) is synthesized by reacting salicylic acid (C7H6O3) with acetic anhydride (C4H6O3). The balanced equation isC7H6

prisoha [69]

Answer:

For a: The mass of acetic anhydride needed is 73.91 grams.

For b: The theoretical yield of aspirin is 130.43 grams.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For a:

Given mass of salicylic acid = $1.00\times 10^2g=100g$

Molar mass of salicylic acid = 138.121 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of salicylic acid}=\frac{100g}{138.121g/mol}=0.724mol$

For the given chemical reaction:

$C_7H_6O_3+C_4H_6O_3\rightarrow C_9H_8O_4+CH_3COOH$

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of salicylic acid reacts with 1 mole of acetic anhydride.

So, 0.724 moles of salicylic acid will react with = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.724=0.724mol$ of acetic anhydride.

Now, to calculate the mass of acetic anhydride, we use equation 1:

Moles of acetic anhydride = 0.724 moles

Molar mass of acetic anhydride = 102.09 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.724mol=\frac{\text{Mass of acetic anhydride}}{102.09g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of acetic anhydride}=73.91g$

Hence, the mass of acetic anhydride needed is 73.91 grams.

For b:

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of salicylic acid is producing 1 mole of aspirin.

So, 0.724 moles of salicylic acid will produce = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.724=0.724mol$ of aspirin.

Now, to calculate the mass of aspirin, we use equation 1:

Moles of aspirin = 0.724 moles

Molar mass of aspirin = 180.158 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.724mol=\frac{\text{Mass of aspirin}}{180.158g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of aspirin}=130.43g$

Hence, the theoretical yield of aspirin is 130.43 grams.

AL(OH)3+ HCI—> ALCL3 +H2O

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

i dont know what you're asking here. But if you're asking what it is then:

Explanation:

Aluminum Hydroxide + Hydrogen Chloride = Aluminum Chloride + Water

Al and Oh3: Aluminum Hydroxide

H and Cl: Hydrogen Chloride

Al and Cl3: Aluminum Chloride

H2O: water

btw the first letter of every element should be capitalized. While the second and theird are lowercased.
