Answer:
109.7178g of H2O
Explanation:
First let us generate a balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:
2C3H8O + 9O2 —> 6CO2 + 8H2O
Next we will calculate the molar mass and masses of C3H8O and H20. This is illustrated below:
Molar Mass of C3H8O = (3x12.011) + (8x1.00794) + 15.9994 = 36.033 + 8.06352 + 15.9994 = 60.09592g/mol.
Mass of C3H8O from the balanced equation = 2 x 60.09592 = 120.19184g
Molar Mass of H2O = (2x1.00794) + 15.9994 = 2.01588 + 15.9994 = 18.01528g/mol
Mass of H2O from the balanced equation = 8 x 18.01528 = 144.12224g
From the equation,
120.19184g of C3H8O produced 144.12224g of H20.
Therefore, 91.5g of C3H8O will produce = (91.5 x 144.12224) /120.19184 = 109.7178g of H2O
In scientific notation, a number is less than ten but more than one.
Move the decimal point from 0, 250.000 <- this is the same as 250 to between 2 and 5.
I had to move two spaces.
2.5^2
I hope this helps!

Since X is 1 g, therefore O must be 0.1 g. Therefore:
moles O = 0.1 g / (16 g / mol) = 0.00625 mol
We can see that for every 3 moles of O, there are 2 moles
of X, therefore:
moles X = 0.00625 mol O (3 moles X / 2 moles O) =
0.009375 mol
Molar mass X = 1 g / 0.009375 mol

Answer:
Here's what I get
Explanation:
You may have done a Williamson synthesis of guaifenesin by reacting guaiacol with 3-chloropropane-1,2-diol.
A. Mechanism
Step 1
NaOH converts guaiacol into a phenoxide ion.
Step 2
The phenoxide acts as the nucleophile in an SN2 reaction to displace the Cl from the alkyl halide.
B. Improve the yield
You probably carried out the reaction in ethanol solution — a polar protic solvent.
You might try doing the reaction in a polar aprotic solvent— perhaps DMSO.
A polar aprotic solvent does not hydrogen bond to nucleophiles, so they become stronger.
C. Another method of ether synthesis —dehydration of alcohols
Sulfuric acid catalyzes the conversion of primary alcohols to ethers.
This is also a nucleophilic displacement reaction.
Protonation of the OH converts it into a better leaving group.
Attack by a second molecule of alcohol forms the protonated ether.
A molecule of water then removes the proton.
