Determine a detailed mechanism for the chlorination of benzene using cl2 and fecl3.
1 answer:
Step (1):
Generation of electrophile: by the action of Lewis acid FeCl₃ on Cl₂ to serve as a source of Cl⁺ (Electrophile)
Step (2):
Addition of electrophile to form carbocation:
addition of electrophile to form C-Cl bond and form carbocation which is stabilized by resonance.
Step (3):
Loss of proton to re-form the aromatic ring by the action of FeCl₄⁻ which removes proton from carbon containing Cl and forming the aromatic ring again

Answer:
0.00369 moles of HCl react with carbonate.
Explanation:
Number of moles of HCl present initially = moles = 0.00600 moles
Neutralization reaction (back titration):
According to above equation, 1 mol of NaOH reacts with 1 mol of 1 mol of HCl.
So, excess number of moles of HCl present = number of NaOH added for back titration = moles = 0.00231 moles
So, mole of HCl reacts with carbonate = (Number of moles of HCl present initially) - (excess number of moles of HCl present) = (0.00600 - 0.00231) moles = 0.00369 moles
Hence, 0.00369 moles of HCl react with carbonate.
