Methyl salicylate is a common active ingredient in liniments such as ben-gay. It is also known as oil of wintergreen. It is made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. When a sample of methyl salicylate weighing 5.287 g is burned in excess oxygen, 12.24 g of carbon dioxide and 2.505 g of water are formed. What is the simplist formula for oil of wintergreen

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: The empirical formula is [tex]C_3H_3O[/tex].

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

[tex]C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O[/tex]

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of [tex]CO_2[/tex] = 12.24 g

Mass of [tex]H_2O[/tex] = 2.505 g

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 12.24 g of carbon dioxide, =[tex]\frac{12}{44}\times 12.24=3.338g[/tex] of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 2.505 g of water, =[tex]\frac{2}{18}\times 2.505=0.278g[/tex] of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (5.287) - (3.338+0.278) = 1.671  g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of C =[tex] \frac{\text{ given mass of C}}{\text{ molar mass of C}}= \frac{3.338g}{12g/mole}=0.278moles[/tex]

Moles of H=[tex]\frac{\text{ given mass of H}}{\text{ molar mass of H}}= \frac{0.278g}{1g/mole}=0.278moles[/tex]

Moles of O=[tex]\frac{\text{ given mass of O}}{\text{ molar mass of O}}= \frac{1.671g}{16g/mole}=0.104moles[/tex]

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For C =[tex]\frac{0.278}{0.104}=3[/tex]

For H =[tex]\frac{0.278}{0.104}=3[/tex]

For O =[tex]\frac{0.104}{0.104}=1[/tex]

The ratio of C : H : O = 3: 3: 1

Hence the empirical formula is [tex]C_3H_3O[/tex].

In the Energy and Specific Heat lab, what temperature should be recorded as the final temperature of the water when measuring the food sample?
A. The temperature of the water when the food sample is first lit
B. The temperature of the water when the food sample has finished burning completely.
C. The highest temperature the water reaches as the sample burns
D. The temperature of the water after the food sample ash has been removed

Answers

Answer:

B. The temperature of the water when the food sample has finished burning completely.

Explanation:

Heat or thermal energy is a form of energy that transfers from one object to another due to a temperature difference between the objects. The units for heat are joules or calories.

Calorimetry is the measurement of heat energy released or absorbed in a chemical  reaction. A calorimeter is used in calorimetry. The calorimeter operates on the Law of Conservation of Energy which states that energy is never created or destroyed but is transformed from one form to another or between objects.

In food calorimetry, the energy released when food is burned is measured by recording the rise in temperature of water in a calorimeter when a given mass of a food sample is burned completely.

Energy can be calculated using the formula: Q = mc ∆T

where Q = the energy in joules or calories, m = the mass in grams, c = specific heat and ∆T = the change in temperature (final temperature - initial temperature).

The temperature of the water when the food sample has finished burning completely is taken as the final temperature of the water. The sample is allowed to smolder for sometime before recording the final  water temperature. This is because the water temperature will continue to rise after the  flame has gone out.

b) Calculate the number of grams of Al produced.


c) Calculate the number of grams of Fe3O4 produced.


d) Calculate the percent yield if 10g of Fe O4 were obtained?

Answers

Answer: a)  [tex]Fe[/tex] is the limiting reagent

b) 3.59 g

c) 11.6g

Explanation:

[tex]4Al_2O_3+9Fe\rightarrow 3Fe_3O_4+8Al[/tex]  

To calculate the moles :

   

[tex]\text{Moles of} Al_2O_3=\frac{27.5g}{102g/mol}=0.27moles[/tex]

[tex]\text{Moles of} Fe=\frac{8.4g}{56g/mol}=0.15moles[/tex]

According to stoichiometry :

a) 9 moles of [tex]Fe[/tex]  require= 4 moles of [tex]Al_2O_3[/tex]

Thus 0.15 moles of [tex]Fe[/tex] will require=[tex]\frac{4}{9}\times 0.15=0.067moles[/tex]  of [tex]Al[/tex]

Thus [tex]Fe[/tex] is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and [tex]Al[/tex] is the excess reagent.

b) As 9 moles of [tex]Fe[/tex] give = 8 moles of [tex]Al[/tex]

Thus 0.15 moles of [tex]Fe[/tex] give =[tex]\frac{8}{9}\times 0.15=0.133moles[/tex]  of [tex]Al[/tex]

Mass of [tex]Al=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.133moles\times 27g/mol=3.59g[/tex]

c) As 9 moles of [tex]Fe[/tex] give = 3 moles of [tex]Fe_3O_4[/tex]

Thus 0.15 moles of [tex]Fe[/tex] give =[tex]\frac{3}{9}\times 0.15=0.05moles[/tex]  of [tex]Fe_3O_4[/tex]

Mass of [tex]Fe_3O_4=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0..05moles\times 231.5g/mol=11.6g[/tex]

Also don’t forget to use the equation 1 mole = Formula weight or Molecular weight to calculate the grams of O2).

Answers

Answer:

a) 24.7 mol

b) 790 g

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Volume of the chamber (V): 200. LRoom temperature (T): 23 °CPressure of the gas (P): 3.00 atm

Step 2: Convert "T" to Kelvin

We will use the following expression.

K = °C + 273.15

K = 23°C + 273.15 = 296 K

Step 3: Calculate the moles (n) of oxygen

We will use the ideal gas equation.

P × V = n × R × T

n = P × V/R × T

n = 3.00 atm × 200. L/(0.0821 atm.L/mol.K) × 296 K = 24.7 mol

Step 4: Calculate the mass (m) corresponding to 24.7 moles of oxygen

The molar mass (M) of oxygen ga sis 32.00 g/mol. We will calculate the mass of oxygen using the following expression.

m = n × M

m = 24.7 mol × 32.00 g/mol = 790 g

The reaction that occurs in a Breathalyzer, a device used to determine the alcohol level in a person's bloodstream, is given below. If the rate of appearance of Cr2(SO4)3 is 1.24 mol/min at a particular moment, what is the rate of disappearance of C2H6O at that moment

Answers

Answer:

The rate of disappearance of C₂H₆O = 2.46 mol/min

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is given below:

2 K₂Cr₂O₇ + 8 H₂SO₄ + 3 C₂H₆O → 2 Cr₂(SO₄)₃ + 2 K₂SO₄ + 11 H₂O

From the equation of the reaction, 3 moles of C₂H₆O is used when 2 moles of Cr₂(SO₄)₃ are produced, therefore, the mole ratio of C₂H₆O to Cr₂(SO₄)₃ is 3:2.

The rate of appearance of Cr₂(SO₄)₃ in that particular moment is given 1.64 mol/min. This would than means that C₂H₆O must be used up at a rate which is approximately equal to their mole ratios. Thus,  the rate of of the disappearance of C₂H₆O can be calculated from the mole ratio of Cr₂(SO₄)₃ and C₂H₆O.

Rate of disappearance of C₂H₆O = 1.64 mol/min of  Cr₂(SO₄)₃  * 3 moles of C₂H₆O / 2 moles of Cr₂(SO₄)₃

Rate of disappearance of C₂H₆O = 2.46 mol/min of C₂H₆O

Therefore, the rate of disappearance of C₂H₆O = 2.46 mol/min

a. Which reactant is the limiting reactant?

b. How many grams of water can be produced by the reaction?

c. How many moles of the excess reactant remains?



I NEED THIS ANSWER QUICKLY IF YOU CAN ONLY DO B THATS FINE THANK YOU

Answers

Answer: a. C₂H₂

              b. 43.2 g

              c. 1.4 moles

Explanation: In a chemical reaction, when a reagent is completely consumed and limits the product formed is called Limiting Reagent. The reactant that is left is the Excess Reactant.

For the burning of acetylene:

[tex]2C_{2}H_{2}+5O_{2} \rightarrow 4CO_{2}+2H_{2}O[/tex]

a. An easy way to determine which reactant is limiting, is to divide the number of moles of each reactant by the coefficient in the balanced reaction. The component that gives the smallest number is the limiting reagent.

The ratio for acetylene is

[tex]\frac{2.4}{2}[/tex] = 1.2

For oxygen:

[tex]\frac{7.4}{5}=[/tex] 1.48

So, the limiting reactant is acetylene.

b. From the balanced reaction, for each 2 moles of acetylene is consumed, 2 moles of water is produced. Then, for 2.4 moles, it will be produced 2.4 moles of water.

Mol is mass in grams divided by molar mass of the component.

[tex]n=\frac{m}{M}[/tex]

Molar mass of water is M = 18 g/mol.

Then, mass of water produced:

m = n.M

m = 2.4(18)

m = 43.2 g

With 2.4 moles of acetylene, it will be produced 43.2 grams of water.

c. For each 2 moles of acetylene consumed, 5 moles of oxygen is also consumed. So, for 2.4 moles:

2 moles = 5 moles

2.4 moles = n

[tex]n=\frac{2.4*5}{2}[/tex]

n = 6 moles

For 2.4 moles of acetylene, it is consumed 6 moles of oxygen. Then, the excess is

7.4 - 6 = 1.4

The excess reactant remaining is 1.4 moles of oxygen.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]M_{HCl} = 1.12M[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, for the first reaction we need to focus on, the neutralization of magnesium hydroxide by phosphoric acid, we can write up the following equation:

[tex]3Mg(OH)_2+2H_3PO_4\rightarrow Mg_3(PO_4)_2+6H_2O[/tex]

Whereas the acid and base react in a 3:2 mole ratio; thus, we can write:

[tex]2M_{Mg(OH)_2}V_{Mg(OH)_2}=3M_{H_3PO_4}V_{H_3PO_4}[/tex]

Now, solving for the concentration of the magnesium hydroxide solution we get:

[tex]M_{Mg(OH)_2}=\frac{3M_{H_3PO_4}V_{H_3PO_4}}{2V_{Mg(OH)_2}} \\\\M_{Mg(OH)_2}=\frac{3*0.20M*0.0300L}{2*0.050L}=0.18M[/tex]

Now, for the reaction between hydrochloric acid and magnesium hydroxide we have:

[tex]Mg(OH)_2+2HCl\rightarrow MgCl_2+2H_2O[/tex]

[tex]2M_{Mg(OH)_2}V_{Mg(OH)_2}=M_{HCl}V_{HCl}[/tex]

Therefore, solving for the concentration of the hydrochloric acid solution we get:

[tex]M_{HCl}=\frac{2M_{Mg(OH)_2}V_{Mg(OH)_2}}{V_{HCl}} \\\\M_{HCl}=\frac{2*0.18M*0.078L}{0.025L}\\\\M_{HCl} = 1.12M[/tex]

Real Gas

The molecules of real gas occupy space though they are small particles and also have volume.

anation:

The differences between an ideal gas and a real gas are that the ideal gas follows the gas laws perfectly under all conditions. Whereas a real gas deviates from ideal gas behaviors.

The ideal gas law, also known as the general gas equation, is a fundamental principle in thermodynamics and relates the pressure, volume, temperature, and number of moles of an ideal gas.

An ideal gas is a theoretical gas that follows the gas laws perfectly under all conditions of temperature and pressure. It is assumed to have no volume, no intermolecular forces, and elastic collisions between its particles. An ideal gas also obeys the ideal gas law.

On the other hand, a real gas is a gas that does not follow the gas laws perfectly under all conditions of temperature and pressure. Real gases have volume and intermolecular forces that affect their behavior. These forces cause deviations from ideal gas behavior, especially at high pressures and low temperatures.

In summary, while an ideal gas is a theoretical gas that follows the gas laws perfectly under all conditions, a real gas is a gas that deviates from ideal gas behavior due to its volume, intermolecular forces, and non-elastic collisions between its particles.

As a part of a clinical study, a pharmacist is asked to prepare a modification of a standard 22g package of a 2% mupirocin ointment by adding the needed quantity of mupirocin powder to prepare a 3% w/w mupirocin ointment. How many mg of mupirocin powder are required?

Answers

Answer:

226.8 mg of mupirocin powder are required

Explanation:

Given that;

weight of standard pack = 22 g

mupirocin by weight = 2%

so weight of mupirocin = 2% × 22 = 2/100 × 22 = 0.44 g

so by adding the needed quantity of mupirocin powder to prepare a 3% w/w mupirocin ointment

mg of mupirocin powder are required = ?, lets rep this with x

Total weight of ointment = 22 + x g

Amount of mupirocin  = 0.44 + x g

percentage of mupirocin  in ointment is 3?

so

3/100 = 0.44 + x g / 22 + x g

3( 22 + x g ) = 100( 0.44 + x g )

66 + 3x g = 44 + 100x g

66 - 44 = 100x g - 3x g

97 x g = 22

x g = 22 / 97

x g = 0.2268 g

we know that; 1 gram = 1000 Milligram

so 0.2268 g = x mg

x mg = 0.2268 × 1000

x mg  = 226.8 mg

Therefore, 226.8 mg of mupirocin powder are required

We have that for the Question "How many mg of mupirocin powder are required? "

It can be said that

[tex]0.2268g[/tex] of mupirocin powder is required

From the question we are told

a pharmacist is asked to prepare a modification of a standard 22g package of a 2% mupirocin ointment by adding the needed quantity of mupirocin powder to prepare a 3% w/w mupirocin ointment

Weight of standard package = 22g

mupirocin = 2%

Therefore,

Weight of mupirocin = [tex]\frac{2}{100}*22[/tex]

[tex]=0.44g[/tex]

Let amount of mupirocin to be added to prepare 3% w/w mupirocin ointment = X

Therefore,

Total weight of ointment = [tex](22 + X)g[/tex]

amount of mupirocin = [tex](0.44+X)g[/tex]

% of mupirocin in ointment = [tex]3\%[/tex]

therefore,

[tex]\frac{3}{100} = \frac{0.44+X}{22+X}\\\\66+3X = 44+100X\\\\X = 0.2268g[/tex]

Calculate the minimum mass of hydrobromic acid that could be left over by the chemical reaction. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Answers

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

The complete reaction for this is as follows -

HBr + NaOH = NaBr + H2O

1 mole of NaOH reacts with 1 mole of HBr

m(HBr) = 57.4g and M(HBr) = 80.9g/mol

m(NaOH) = 16g and M(NaOH) = 40g/mol

Number of moles = m/M

Substituting the given values we get -

n(HBr) = 57.4 g/80.9 g/mol = 0.709

n(NaOH) = 16 g/40 g/mol = 0.4

n(H2O) = n(NaOH) = 0.40 mol

According to balanced equation

40 gram of NaOH reacts with 81 grams of HBr

41 gram of NaOH will react with 81/40 * 41 = 83.025 gram of HBr

We have only 57.4 g of HBr only hence, 0 HBr will be left.
