Explanation:
You may have done a Williamson synthesis of guaifenesin by reacting guaiacol with 3-chloropropane-1,2-diol.
A. Mechanism
Step 1
NaOH converts guaiacol into a phenoxide ion.
Step 2
The phenoxide acts as the nucleophile in an SN2 reaction to displace the Cl from the alkyl halide.
B. Improve the yield
You probably carried out the reaction in ethanol solution — a polar protic solvent.
You might try doing the reaction in a polar aprotic solvent— perhaps DMSO.
A polar aprotic solvent does not hydrogen bond to nucleophiles, so they become stronger.
C. Another method of ether synthesis —dehydration of alcohols
Sulfuric acid catalyzes the conversion of primary alcohols to ethers.
This is also a nucleophilic displacement reaction.
Protonation of the OH converts it into a better leaving group.
Attack by a second molecule of alcohol forms the protonated ether.
A molecule of water then removes the proton.

I think the reaction that represents a balanced, double replacement chemical reaction is B which is <span>Rb2O + Cu(C2H3O2)2 → 2RbC2H3O2 + CuO </span>
Answer:
You can view more details on each measurement unit: molecular weight of Copper(I) Oxide or grams The molecular formula for Copper(I) Oxide is Cu2O. The SI base unit for amount of substance is the mole. 1 mole is equal to 1 moles Copper(I) Oxide, or 143.0914 grams.
Explanation:
Solute is what gets dissovled, in this case the salt, and the solVENT is whatever a material is dissolved into, in this case the water.
