Water<span> is capable of dissolving a variety of different substances, which is why it is such a good </span>solvent. Water dissolves more than any other liquid, therefor we called it the Universal Solvent.
Answer:
Theoretical yield of C6H10 = 3.2 g.
Explanation:
Defining Theoretical yield as the quantity of product obtained from the complete conversion of the limiting reactant in a chemical reaction. It can be expressed as grams or moles.
Equation of the reaction
C6H11OH --> C6H10 + H2O
Moles of C6H11OH:
Molar mass of C6H110H = (12*6) + (1*12) + 16
= 100 g/mol
Mass of C6H10 = 3.8 g
number of moles = mass/molar mass
=3.8/100
= 0.038 mol.
Using stoichoimetry, 1 moles of C6H110H was dehydrated to form 1 mole of C6H10 and 1 mole of water.
Therefore, 0.038 moles of C6H10 was produced.
Mass of C6H10 = molar mass * number of moles
Molar mass of C6H10 = (12*6) + (1*10)
= 82 g/mol.
Mass = 82 * 0.038
= 3.116 g of C6H10.
Theoretical yield of C6H10 = 3.2 g
I'm in the car now so can't lookup periodic table. But you find molecular weight of: 1 Ca + 2 Cl
Then that
Density is defined as mass/volume (or m/v).
So,
(126.0 g)/(12.5 cm^3)= 10.08 g/cm^3
If your teacher requires correct significant figures, the answer is 10.1 g/cm^3.
If not, the first answer is fine.
I'm not sure how many sign fig's you are required to have.
However I think the final answer would be 0.05 Moles, because of the .5g, that is considered 1 sign fig.
