Answer:
See explanation below
Explanation:
This reaction is known as Ketone hydrolisis in acid medium. This involves the formation of an hemi cetal, and then, the acetal. This is often used to convert ketones or aldehydes in ethers.
The first step involves the reaction with the acid. The carbonile reacts with the acid and forms an alcohol there. The next step is the reaction of the alcohol, in this case, the methanol to form the hemi cetal. Then in the third step, we repeat the first step, using acid to turn the OH group into a great leaving group such water. Then the water leaves the molecule, leaving the space wide open in the next step for methanol, and the acetal is formed.

Answer:
Limiting reactant = B2O3
Amount of BCl3 formed = 468 g
Explanation:
The given reaction is:
In order to identify the limiting reagent calculate the moles of B2O3, C and Cl2. The reagent with the lowest moles is the limiting reactant
Since the moles of B2O3 < C < Cl2, the limiting reactant is B2O3
Based on the reaction stoichiometry:
1 mole of B2O3 produces 2 moles of BCl3
Hence, the number of moles of BCl3 produced under the experimental conditions = 2*1.997=3.994 moles
