Atoms are electrically neutral because they contain equal quantities of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons. Electrons and protons have equal but opposite charges, so the result is no net charge. Ions are atoms that have gained or lost electrons.
Answer:
Option B, aspirin’s ester group provides greater digestibility to aspirin
Explanation:
Aspirin ester group has three parts
- carboxylic acid functional group (R-COOH)
- ester functional group (R-O-CO-R')
- 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.
About 8.0 moles of methane.Number of moles = MassMolar mass.
And thus we get the quotient:
128.3⋅g16.04⋅g⋅mol−1=8.0⋅moles of methane.
Note that the expression is dimensionally consistent, we wanted an answer in moles, and the quotients gives, 1mol−1=11mol=mol as required.
