IDENTIFICATION: Acetylsalicylic acid commonly known as Aspirin (C9H8O4) is used to treat fever, inflammation, and acts as a blood-thinning agent. A group of STEM students experimented on the synthesis of this compound using recrystallization technique. The following are the initial materials for the experiment: 5.00 g of pure salicylic acid (C7H6O3), 7.14 g of acetic anhydride (C4H6O3) and 8 drops concentrated sulfuric acid as catalyst. After successful synthesis, the group was able to collect 5.25 grams of Aspirin (C9H8O4) and acetic acid (C2H4O2). Atomic weights: C= 12 amu; H = 1 amu; O= 16 amu; density acetic anhydride = 1.08 g/mL How much of the excess reactant (in grams) will be left unconsumed after the reaction?
Calculate the percent yield of ester for the esterification reaction of Isopentyl Acetate isopentyl alcohol- quantity: 3.177g acetic acid- quantity: 7mL isopentyl acetate (product)- 1.268g
A sample containing chlorophenol, C6H4ClOH, was analysed by gravimetric analysis. A 0.783-g of this sample goes through a chemical process allowing the chlorine in the chlorophenol to precipitate as silver chloride, weighing 0.271 g. Calculate the % (wt/wt) of the chlorophenol in the sample, assuming that chlorophenol is the only source of chlorine in the sample. Provide your answer to two decimal places and without units. Avoid using scientific notation.
2.1g of sample are dissolved in methylene chloride and the sample is extracted with aqueous solutions of acid and base. Three compounds are isolated - 0.8g of ethyl p-aminobenzoate, 0.6 g of acetanilide, and 0.5 g of benzoic acid. Calculate the % recovery for the procedure. (Round the answer to the nearest tens place.) Give just the number, not a % sign.)
Sodium carbonate is a reagent that may be used to standardize acids in the same way that you have used KHP in this experiment. In such a standardization it was found that a 0.498-g sample of sodium carbonate required 24.8 mLmL mL of a sulfuric acid solution to reach the end point for the reaction.

Calculate the Kf of benzophenane in °C*kg/mol. (b) An unknown solution with possible cations (Ag+, Hg22+, Pb2+) is treated with 6M HCl and a white precipitate forms. Hot water is added to the precipitate, and a white solid remains after filtration. The white solid is treated with aqueous NH3, and the precipitate turns grey or black. The resulting solution is treated with HNO3 and no precipitate forms. What cations can you determine to be present, absent or maybe present? Explain your reason
