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.

For the following reaction, KcKc = 255 at 1000 KK.
bonufazy [111]

Answer :

The equilibrium concentration of CO is, 0.016 M

The equilibrium concentration of Cl₂ is, 0.034 M

The equilibrium concentration of COCl₂ is, 0.139 M

Explanation :

The given chemical reaction is:

                           CO(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons COCl_2(g)

Initial conc.      0.1550      0.173           0

At eqm.          (0.1550-x)  (0.173-x)         x

As we are given:

K_c=255

The expression for equilibrium constant is:

K_c=\frac{[COCl_2]}{[CO][Cl_2]}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

255=\frac{(x)}{(0.1550-x)\times (0.173-x)}

x = 0.139 and x = 0.193

We are neglecting value of x = 0.193 because equilibrium concentration can not be more than initial concentration.

Thus, we are taking value of x = 0.139

The equilibrium concentration of CO = (0.1550-x) = (0.1550-0.139) = 0.016 M

The equilibrium concentration of Cl₂ = (0.173-x) = (0.173-0.139) = 0.034 M

The equilibrium concentration of COCl₂ = x = 0.139 M

A sample of seawater contains 1.3g of calcium ions in 3,100kg of solution. what is the calcium ion concentration of this solutio
MakcuM [25]
Unit ppm stands for parts per million. in terms of mass, ppm is equivalent to mg/kg.
since 1 kg is 10⁻⁶ mg, 1 kg is equivalent to million mg.
therefore mg/kg is also ppm.
there are 1.3 g of Ca ions in 3100 kg
if 3100 kg contains - 1.3 g of Ca
then 1 kg contains - 1.3 g / 3100 kg
then Ca ions - 0.42 x 10⁻³ g/kg
Ca ion concentration - 0.42 mg/kg 
therefore Ca ion concentration is 0.42 ppm
