Answer:
% yield = 82.5%
Explanation:
HgO + 2Cl₂ → HgCl₂ + Cl₂O
Our reactants are:
Our products are:
We do not have information about moles of reactants, but we do know the theoretical yield and the grams of product, in this case Cl₂O, we have produced.
Percent yield = (Yield produced / Theoretical yield) . 100
Theoretical yield is the mass of product which is produced by sufficent reactant. We replace data:
% yield = (0.71 g/0.86g) . 100 = 82.5%
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
Racemization is said to occur when a 1:1 ratio of (+) and (-) enantiomers of a compound are produced in a reaction.
The reaction of optically active (R)-2-methylcyclohexanone with either aqueous base or acid leads to the formation of a planar enol species for reaction with acid and a planar enolate species for reaction with base.
Both reactions involves the formation of achiral species which reverts back to the chiral product with equal chances of the formation of both enantiomers of the product during the process. This leads to racemization of the product in both cases.
Temperature is related to the kinetic energy the atoms within any given
substance. Within a solid, we can therefore assume that the density will
increase as the solid is cooled to a low temperature, as this will
cause a loss in kinetic energy and the atoms won't be able to move as
freely.
