Write a mechanism for the formation of triphenylmethanol from the reaction of phenylmagnesium bromide and diethyl carbonate..

Chemistry
1 answer:
My name is Ann [436]2 years ago

The reaction  proceeds through nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction.

Phenyl magnesium bromide substitutes one ethoxide ion in the nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction that drives the process forward. A subsequent equivalent of phenyl magnesium bromide produces triphenyl methanol through a nucleophilic addition reaction with the resultant keto group.

There are two ethoxy leaving groups in diethyl carbonate. Tertiary alcohol is created when diethyl carbonate combines with too much Grignard reagent. The Grignard reagent attacks the carbonyl carbon three times in the mechanism to produce the tertiary alcohol.

The mechanism is shown below:

The combustion of 1.685 g of propanol (C3H7OH) increases the temperature of a bomb calorimeter from 298.00 K to 302.16 K. The he
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

ΔH =  - 2020.57 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Given that :

mass of propanol = 1.685 g

the molar molar mass = 60 g/mol

Thus; the number of  moles = mass/molar mass

= 1.685 g/60 g/mol

= 0.028 g/mol

However ;

ΔH = heat capacity C × Δ T

Given that:

The temperature increases from  298.00 K to 302.16 K.

Then ;

Δ T = 302.16 K - 298.00 K

Δ T = 4.16 K

heat capacity C = 13.60 kJ/K

∴

ΔH = 13.60 kJ/K × 4.16 K

ΔH =  56.576 kJ

The equation of the given reaction can be represented as :

C_3H_7OH_{(l)}+\dfrac{3}{2}O_{2(g)}  \to 3CO_{2(g)} +4H_2O_{(l)}

Thus for 0.028 mol of heat liberated; ΔH =  56.576 kJ

For 1 mole of heat liberated now:

ΔH =  56.576 kJ/0.028 mol

ΔH =  2020.57 kJ/mol

SInce , Heat is liberated, the reaction undergoes an exothermic reaction thus;

ΔH =  - 2020.57 kJ/mol

If 12.1 kilograms of al2o3(s), 60.4 kilograms of naoh(l), and 60.4 kilograms of hf(g) react completely, how many kilograms of cr
Fynjy0 [20]
Answer is: 7,826 kg of cryolite.
Chemical reaction: Al₂O₃ + 6NaOH + 12HF → 2Na₃AlF₆ + 9H₂<span>O.
m(</span>Al₂O₃) = 12,1 kg = 12100 g.
n(Al₂O₃) = m(Al₂O₃) ÷ M(Al₂O₃).
n(Al₂O₃) = 12100 g ÷ 101,96 g/mol = 111,86 mol; limiting reactant.
m(NaOH) = 60,4 kg = 60400 g.
n(NaOH) = 60400 g ÷ 40 g/mol.
n(NaOH) = 1510 mol.
m(HF) = 60,4 kg = 60400 g.
n(HF) = 60400 g ÷ 20 g/mol = 3020 mol.
From chemical reaction: n(Al₂O₃) : n(Na₃AlF₆) = 6 : 2.
n(Na₃AlF₆) = 2 ·111,86 mol ÷ 6 = 37,28 mol.
m(Na₃AlF₆) = 37,28 mol · 209,94 g/mol.
m(Na₃AlF₆) = 7826,56 g = 7,826 kg.

Calculate the equilibrium constant of the reaction below if the pressures are 1.0atm, 2.0 atm, and 1.0 atm respectively. PCl3 +
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

K = 0.5

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

PCl₃ + Cl₂ ⇄ PCl₅

The equilibrium constant, K, is defined as:

K = P PCl₅ / P PCl₃ * P Cl₂

<em>Where P represent the pressure at the equilibrium for each one of the gases involved in the equilibrium.</em>

<em />

As:

P PCl₅ = 1.0atm

P PCl₃ = 1.0atm

P Cl₂ = 2.0atm

K = 1.0atm / 1.0atm * 2.0atm

<h3>K = 0.5</h3>
