Synthesis of methylcyclohexane from bromocyclohexane could be accomplished either by alkoxymercuration or by a Williamson ether

synthesis. Describe both (short) syntheses. Which would you expect to be more successful, and why?

In the process of alkoxymercuration, a reaction between an alkene and a alcohol in the presence of mercuric acetate, produces an intermediate called alkoxymercury intermediate. This will react with sodium borohydride, a reducing agent, producing an eter.

In the Williamson Ether Synthesis, occurs a nucleophilic substitution reaction of an alkoxide nucleophile with an alkyl halide. As this is an easier way of producing ethers, it will be more successful than the Alkoxymercuration.

Ammonia, NH3NH3 , can react with oxygen to form nitrogen gas and water. 4NH3(aq)+3O2(g)⟶2N2(g)+6H2O(l) 4NH3(aq)+3O2(g)⟶2N2(g)+6H

solmaris [256]

Answer:

36.37% is the percent yield of the reaction.

Explanation:

$4NH_3(aq)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2N_2(g)+6H_2O(l)$

1)0.650 L nitrogen gas , at 295 K and 1.01 bar.

Let the moles of nitrogen gas be n.

Pressure of the gas ,P= 1.01 bar = 0.9967 atm (1 bar = 0.9869 atm)

Temperature of the gas = T = 295 K

Volume of the gas = V = 0.650 L

Using an ideal gas equation:

$PV=nRT$

$n=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{0.9967 atm\times 0.650 L}{0.0821 atm L/mol K\times 295 K}=0.0267 mol$

2) Moles of ammonia gas= $\frac{2.53 g}{17 g/mol}=0.1488 mol$

Moles of oxygen gas = $\frac{3.53 g}{32 g/mol}=0.1101 mol$

According to reaction ,3 mol of oxygen reacts with 4 mol of ammonia.

Then,0.1101 mol of oxygen will react with:

$\frac{4}{3}\times 0.1101 mol=0.1468 mol$ of ammonia.

Hence, oxygen gas is in limiting amount and act as limiting reagent.

3) Theoretical yield of nitrogen gas :

According to reaction, 3 mol of oxygen gas gives 2 moles of nitrogen gas.

Then 0.1101 mol of oxygen will give:

$\frac{2}{3}\times 0.1101 mol=0.0734 mol$ of nitrogen.

Theoretical yield of nitrogen gas = 0.0734 mol

Experimental yield of nitrogen as calculated in part (1) = 0.0267 mol

Percentage yield:

$\frac{\text{Experiential yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

Percentage yield of the reaction:

$\frac{ 0.0267 mol}{0.0734 mol}\times 100=36.37\%$

36.37% is the percent yield of the reaction.

How many milliliters of 0.02 M HCl are needed to react completely with 100 mL of 0.01 M NaOH?

serious [3.7K]

The reaction of HCl and NaOH is HCl + NaOH = NaCl + H2O. So the mole number of HCl and NaOH is equal. So the volume of HCl =0.01*0.1/0.02=0.05 L =50 ml. So the answer is D).

What volume of air is needed to burn completely 100cm of propane?

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

propane mole weight = 44 gm / mole

100 gm / 44 gm / mole = 2.27 moles

From the equation, 5 times as many moles of OXYGEN (O2)are required

= 11.36 moles of oxygen

at <u>STP</u> this is 254.55 liters of O2 (because 22.4 L = one mole) and

Using oxygen as 21 percent of air means that

.21 x = 254.55 = x = <u>1212.12 liters of air required </u>

From the value Kf=1.2×109 for Ni(NH3)62+, calculate the concentration of NH3 required to just dissolve 0.016 mol of NiC2O4 (Ksp

Nina [5.8K]

<u>Answer:</u> The concentration of $NH_3$ required will be 0.285 M.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the molarity of $NiC_2O_4$ , we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$

Moles of $NiC_2O_4$ = 0.016 moles

Volume of solution = 1 L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Molarity of }NiC_2O_4=\frac{0.016mol}{1L}=0.016M$

For the given chemical equations:

$NiC_2O_4(s)\rightleftharpoons Ni^{2+}(aq.)+C_2O_4^{2-}(aq.);K_{sp}=4.0\times 10^{-10}$

$Ni^{2+}(aq.)+6NH_3(aq.)\rightleftharpoons [Ni(NH_3)_6]^{2+}+C_2O_4^{2-}(aq.);K_f=1.2\times 10^9$

Net equation: $NiC_2O_4(s)+6NH_3(aq.)\rightleftharpoons [Ni(NH_3)_6]^{2+}+C_2O_4^{2-}(aq.);K=?$

To calculate the equilibrium constant, K for above equation, we get:

$K=K_{sp}\times K_f\\K=(4.0\times 10^{-10})\times (1.2\times 10^9)=0.48$

The expression for equilibrium constant of above equation is:

$K=\frac{[C_2O_4^{2-}][[Ni(NH_3)_6]^{2+}]}{[NiC_2O_4][NH_3]^6}$

As, $NiC_2O_4$ is a solid, so its activity is taken as 1 and so for $C_2O_4^{2-}$

We are given:

$[[Ni(NH_3)_6]^{2+}]=0.016M$

Putting values in above equations, we get:

$0.48=\frac{0.016}{[NH_3]^6}}$

$[NH_3]=0.285M$

Hence, the concentration of $NH_3$ required will be 0.285 M.
