Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), the intoxicant in alcoholic beverages, is also used to make other organic compounds. In concentrated sulfuri

c acid, ethanol forms diethyl ether and water: 2CH3CH2OH(l) → CH3CH2OCH2CH3(l) + H2O(g) In a side reaction, some ethanol forms ethylene and water: CH3CH2OH(l) → CH2═CH2(g) + H2O(g) a) If 50.0 g of ethanol yields 35.9 g of diethyl ether, what is the percent yield of diethyl ether? b) During the process, 45.0% of the ethanol that did not produce diethyl ether reacts by the side reaction. What mass of ethylene is produced?

Answer:

a) 88.48%

b) 0.05625 mol

Explanation:

2CH₃CH₂OH(l) → CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃(l) + H₂O(g)         Reaction 1

CH₃CH₂OH(l) → CH₂═CH₂(g) + H₂O(g)                        Reaction 2

a) CH₃CH₂OH = 46.0684 g/mol

   CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃ = 74.12 g/mol

1 mol CH₃CH₂OH ______  46.0684 g

x                            ______   50.0 g

x = 1.085 mol  CH₃CH₂OH

1 mol  CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃ ______  74.12 g g

y                           ______   35.9 g

y = 0.48 mol   CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃

100% yield _____ 0.5425 mol CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃

w                _____  0.48 mol CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃

w = 88.48%

b) Only 0.96 mol of ethanol reacted to form diethyl ether. This means that 0.125 mol of ethanol did not react. 45% of 0.125 mol reacted to form ethylene. Therefore, 0.05625 mol of ethanol reacted by the side reaction (reaction 2). Since 1 mol of ethanol leads to 1 mol of ethylene, 0.05625 mol of ethanol produces 0.05625 mol of ethylene.

Write a net ionic equation to show how codeine, c18h21o3n, behaves as a base in water.
Lera25 [3.4K]

Actually, the ionic equation for this is a reversible equation since codeine is a weak base. Any weak base or weak acids do not completely dissociate which makes them a reversible process. The ionic equation for this case is:

<span>C18H21O3N  +  H3O+  </span><=> C18H21O3NH+ +  H2O

Why does beryllium lose electrons when forming ionic bonds,while sulfur gains electrons?
Nadya [2.5K]
Beryllium is a metal so it needs to loose electrons to have a full outer shell while sulfur is a non-metal so it needs to gain electrons to fill its outer shell.

Bacteria cells are different from plant and animal cells because they don't have what???!
icang [17]
<span>
Plants and animals are multi-cellular organisms composed of eukaryotic cells, while bacteria are single-cell prokaryotic organisms. Each eukaryotic cell of a plant or animal includes a central nucleus containing DNA and membrane-bound organelles, such as endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria. A bacterial cell has no nucleus or membrane-bound organelles.

hope it helps! :)

<u>Answer:</u> The total pressure of the container will be 2.00 atm

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Initial moles of phosphorus pentachloride = 1.00 atm

For the given chemical reaction:

PCl_5\rightleftharpoons PCl_3+Cl_2

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of PCl_5 produces 1 mole of PCl_3 and 1 mole of chlorine gas

So, 1.00 atm of PCl_5 will also produce 1.00 atm of PCl_3 and 1.00 atm of chlorine gas when the reaction goes to completion.

Total pressure of the container when the reaction goes to completion  = 1.00 + 1.00 = 2.00 atm

Hence, the total pressure of the container will be 2.00 atm
