Link for Acetylsalicylic acid (Synthesis): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GOhq_6qNIQCHM-101L Chemical Reactions and Equations Balancing & Types of Reactions: After watching "Types of Chemical Reactions" and completing "Chem Mathematics: Balancing Chemical Equations," located in topic materials, complete the following questions: 1) Describe how a chemical equation is written. Where are the reactants found? What about the products? What separates the two halves of the reaction? Click or tap here to enter text. 2) Describe in your own words what happens in each of the five main types of chemical reactions. Give one example of a chemical reaction from each category (examples of reactions must be different from those shown in the video). Click or tap here to enter text. 3) Balance the equations and identify the type of each reaction as: combination decomposition, single replacement, double replacement, or combustion. a. # Al (NO3)3 + # (NH4)3PO4 → # AlPO4 + # NH4NO3 Choose an item. b. # C2H4O2 + # O2 → # CO2 + # H2O Choose an item. c. # Ca + # CuF2 → # CaF2 + # Cu Choose an item. d. # H2SO4 + # B(OH)3 → # B2(SO4)3 + # H2O Choose an item. e. # S8 + # O2 → # SO2 Choose an item. f. # H2O2 → # O2 + # H2O Choose an item. Synthesis of Aspirin: Watch "Acetylsalicylic acid (Synthesis)," located in topic materials, in which aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) will be produced from a reaction between salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. As you watch the video, record the amounts of salicylic acid and acetic anhydride that were used in the experiment. 4) Amounts of Salicylic acid: Click or tap here to enter text. 5) Amount of Acetic Anhydride: Click or tap here to enter text. 6) Given the initial amounts of salicylic acid and acetic anhydride used, calculate the theoretical yield of acetylsalicylic acid that could be produced from this reaction. Click or tap here to enter text. 7) Which of the two reactants, salicylic acid or acetic anhydride, is the limiting reagent? Explain how you know this. © 2020 Grand Canyon University.
