Answer:

Solvent will be lost as gas and not return into the vessel via condensation.

Explanation:

Reflux is a technique used in chemistry to boil a particular solvent and convert the gas formed back into liquid by condensation. This technique allows a solvent to be heated at a regulated temperature but for a prolonged period of time than it would normally take place.

The reflux procedure makes use of a reflux CONDENSER, which is an apparatus that allows vapour from the heating/boiling to flow back into the reaction vessel. The CONDENSER functions to prevent the loss of the SOLVENT as vapour by providing a cooling effect on the vapour.

Therefore, if a reaction was refluxed without a condenser, THE SOLVENT WILL BE LOST AS VAPOUR

Ann [662]

Answer:

See explanation and image attached

Explanation:

The Gilman reagent is a lithium and copper (diorganocopper) reagent with a general formula R2CuLi. R is an alkyl or aryl group.

They are useful in the synthesis of alkanes because they react with organic halides to replace the halide group with an R group.

In this particular instance, we intend to synthesize propylcyclohexane. The structure of the lithium diorganocopper (Gilman) reagent required is shown in the image attached to this answer.

Aspirin sun thesis Green Chemistry and Assime the aspirin is prepared by the following reaction and that 10.09. of salicylic aci

klemol [59]

Answer: The percentage yield of aspirin is 38.02 %.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For salicylic acid:

Given mass of salicylic acid $(C_7H_6O_3)$ = 10.09 g

Molar mass of salicylic acid $(C_7H_6O_3)$ = 138.12 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of salicylic acid}=\frac{10.09g}{138.12g/mol}=0.0730mol$

The chemical equation for the formation of aspirin follows:

$C_7H_6O_3+C_4H_6O_3\rightarrow C_9H_8O_4+CH_3COOH$

As, acetic anhydride is present in excess. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, salicylic acid is a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of products.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of salicylic acid produces 1 mole of aspirin.

So, 0.0730 moles of salicylic acid will produce = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.0730=0.0730mol$ of aspirin

Now, calculating the mass of aspirin from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of aspirin = 180.16 g/mol

Moles of aspirin = 0.073 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.073mol=\frac{\text{Mass of aspirin}}{180.16g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of aspirin}=13.15g$

To calculate the percentage yield of aspirin, we use the equation:

$\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

Experimental yield of aspirin = 5.0 g

Theoretical yield of aspirin = 13.15 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\%\text{ yield of aspirin}=\frac{5.0g}{13.15g}\times 100\\\\\% \text{yield of aspirin}=38.02\%$

Hence, the percent yield of aspirin is 38.01 %.
