Aqueous sodium bicarbonate was used to wash the crude n-butyl bromide. a. What was the purpose of this wash? Give equations. b.

Why would it be undesirable to wash the crude halide with aqueous sodium hydroxide? 5. Look up the density of n-butyl chloride (1-chlorobutane). Assume that this alkyl halide was prepared instead of the bromide. Decide whether the alkyl chloride would appear as the upper or the lower phase at each stage of the separation procedure: after the reflux, after the addition of water, and after the addition of sodium bicarbonate.

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

a) According to this, this is an excercise that is involving a separation and reaction of different compounds. The n-butyl bromide is formed when, you made the following reaction:

CH2 = CH - CH2 - CH3 + HBr/peroxide -----------> Br - CH2 - CH2 - CH2 - CH3

Now, in this reaction, we still has traces of HBr in the product, so, in order to neutralize these traces, we wash the solution with bicarbonate sodium forming sodium bromide and carbonic acid as follow:

HBr + Na2CO3 ---------> NaBr + Na2CO3

Also, this is a weak base so it will not react with the n-butylbromide to form another product.

b) Basing of what it was stated above, we cannot wash the solution with NaOH because this is a strong base, and not only wil eliminate the traces of HBr, it will also react with the butylbromide causing an elimination and substitution reaction, giving the following products:

BrCH2CH2CH2CH3 + NaOH --->CH2=CHCH2CH3 + OHCH2CH2CH2CH3

That it's why we need to wash this product with a weak base only.

c) The density of 1-chlorobutane is 0.88 g/mL, density of water is 1 g/mL and density of sodium bicarbonate is 2.2 g/cm3, therefore, the one that has a greater density will go at the lower phase.

In this case, after the reflux, it will stay in the lower phase.

after adding water, it will be in the upper phase.

after adding bicarbonate, it will be in the upper phase too.

PLEASE HELP What's the mass in grams of 0.442 moles of calcium bromide, CaBr2? The atomic
djverab [1.8K]

Answer: Thus there are 88.4 g of calcium bromide.

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance weighs equal to the molecular mass and contains avogadro's number 6.023\times 10^{23} of particles.

Molar mass of = 40.1 (1)+ 2(79.9) = 199.9  

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}

0.442=\frac{x}{199.9}

x=88.4g

Thus there are 88.4 g of calcium bromide.

Write a chemical equation for the reaction that occurs in the following cell: Cu|Cu2+(aq)||Ag+(aq)|Ag Express your answer as a b
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The cell reaction properly written is shown below:

              Cu|Cu²⁺_{aq} || Ag⁺_{aq} | Ag

From this cell reaction, to get the net ionic equation, we have to split the reaction into their proper oxidation and reduction halves. This way, we can know that is happening at the electrodes and derive the overall net equation.

  Oxidation half:

                  Cu_{s}  ⇄ Cu²⁺_{aq} + 2e⁻

At the anode, oxidation occurs.

  Reduction half:

                  Ag⁺_{aq} + 2e⁻ ⇄ Ag_{s}

At the cathode, reduction occurs.

To derive the overall reaction, we must balance the atoms and charges:

             Cu_{s}  ⇄ Cu²⁺_{aq} + 2e⁻

              Ag⁺_{aq} + e⁻ ⇄ Ag_{s}

  we multiply the second reaction by 2 to balance up:

         2Ag⁺_{aq} + 2e⁻ ⇄ 2Ag_{s}

The net reaction equation:

Cu_{s} + 2Ag⁺_{aq} + 2e⁻⇄ Cu²⁺_{aq} + 2e⁻ + 2Ag_{s}

We then cancel out the electrons from both sides since they appear on both the reactant and product side:

  Cu_{s} + 2Ag⁺_{aq} ⇄ Cu²⁺_{aq} + 2Ag_{s}

Oksana_A [137]
The answer to this question would be: <span>85c 
</span>Solubility is influenced by the temperature of the molecule. Higher temperature will result in a higher solubility. That is why brewing using hot water will be easier than using cold water. Higher temperature also means higher reaction rate.
