Kind of this is probably wrong Mass weight of solid, volume weight of liquid?
If the trend is linear, that is boiling point increases by a constant amount for each additional saturated carbon, the boiling point of octane would be 69*2 because you are adding two saturated carbons. So the predicted boiling point is 138C, which is very close to the literature value
The tert-butyl chloride in ethanol would surely react faster than the solvolysis of 1-chloro-2,2-dimethyl propane. It is known that both reactions are under the SN2 category so it would be hard for these reactions to occur. However, SN1 reactions are possible because of the ethanol which is a polar solvent. Both would form carbocations but tert-butyl chloride forms a more stable carbocation while the 1-chloro-2,2-dimethyl propane forms a primary carbocation only.
<span>To solve this we need to balance the equations first.
So Hg + S --> HgS is balanced
One mole of Hg requires one mole of S to form one mole of HgS.
Number of moles of Sulphur = mass/ molar mass = 157/32 = 4.906
So 4.90 moles of S reacts with 4.90 moles of Hg.
Hence there are 4.90 moles of 4.90 of Hg.
Mass = number of moles * molar mass of Hg
Mass = 4.906 * 200.59 = 982.891g</span>
