Explain why all glassware must be dry and the solvent anhydrous during formation and reaction of a grignard reaction. Further, e
mario62 [17]

Answer:

The glassware and solvent for the production of grignard reagent and its reaction should by dry and anhydrous so as to prevent the conversion of the grignard reagent into saturated alkane. Acetone, is not a good solvent for the generation of grignard reagent because it has the potential of forming alcohol.

Explanation:

Grignard reagent is a compound formed by the reaction of halide of alkyl or alkene with magnesium metal. This makes the compound more nucleophilic. Thus the availability of an electrophile around it will evoke a quick reaction. The presence of water in an acidic condition will generate hydroxonium ions which are highly electrophilic. There will therefore be an introduction of hydrogen ions to the grignard reagent and which will displace the MgBr leading to the formation of alkane.

Acetone tends to produce alcohol when they are exposed to grignard reagent, thus they are not appropriate to be used as solvent. This is due to the resultant highly electrophilic nature of the carbonyl carbon on the acetone, thus will react with the nucleophilic carbon on the grignard. The reaction can be represented as follows:

RMgBr + CH3(CO)CH3 + H (with hydrogen ions) >>>RCOH + Mg(OH)Br

How would you describe the solid-state in terms of motion (ability to move in the space and speed) and distance between molecule
horrorfan [7]

In the gaseous state, the molecules are completely free because there is no intermolecular interaction between the molecules hence they translate at incredibly high velocity.

According to the kinetic theory of matter, the molecules that compose matter are in constant random motion. The nature of this motion varies in the three states of matter which are;

  • Solid
  • Liquid and
  • Gas

In the solid state, the molecules do not translate, they only vibrate and rotate about their mean positions. In the liquids state, the molecules translate but they still have restricted degrees of freedom due to intermolecular interactions. In the gaseous state, the molecules are completely free because there is no intermolecular interaction between the molecules hence they translate at incredibly high velocity.
