The sulfuric acid–catalyzed reaction of isopentyl alcohol with acetic acid to form isopentyl acetate is performed. This reaction

does not proceed to completion. After the reaction is heated under reflux for an hour, the product mixture is washed with aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution, and the organic layer is thoroughly dried. A distillation of the organic layer is then performed. Given the boiling points listed below, select the compound that will distill first.
Compound Boiling point, ℃
acetic acid 118
isopentyl acetate 142
isopentyl alcohol 130
sulfuric acid water 290

Answer:

The correct option is acetic acid

Explanation:

Distillation is the process of separating a mixture of substances based on differences in boiling points. During distillation, the compound with the lowest/least boiling point is distilled and collected first and then the one with the next least boiling point and it goes on like that.

From the explanation above, <u>acetic acid has the least boiling point (in the organic layer) with 118°C and thus will distill first</u>. This is then followed by isopentyl alcohol (130°C) and then isopentyl acetate (142°C) and finally sulfuric acid water (290°C).

When 4.15 grams of silver nitrate is reacted with 1.11 grams of iron(III) chloride, which best represents the amount of silver c
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

The mass of silver chloride produced = 2.202 g

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction is given below

3AgNO₃(aq) + FeCl₃(aq) ----> 3AgCl(s) + Fe(NO₃)₃(aq)

molar mass of AgNO₃ = 170 g/mol

molar mass of FeCl₃ = 233.5 g/mol

molar mass of AgCl = 143.5 g/mol

3 moles of silver nitrate reacts with 1 mole of iron (iii) chloride to give 3 moles of silver nitrate

4.15 grams of AgNO₃ = 4.15/170 = 0.0244 moles of AgNO₃

1.11 grams of FeCl₃ = 1.11/233.5 = 0.0047 moles of FeCl₃

mole ratio of AgNO₃ to FeCl₃ = 0.0244/0.0047 = 5 : 1

therefore, FeCl₃ is the limiting reactant

0.0047 moles of FeCl₃ reacting will produce 0.0047 *  3 moles of AgCl = 0.0141 moles of AgCl

0.0141 moles of AgCl = 0.0141 * 143.5 g of AgCl = 2.02 g of AgCl =

Therefore mass of silver chloride produced = 2.202 g
