s the purpose of the CaCl2 drying tube? What chemical reaction is it preventing (please supply a mechanism).
1 answer:
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
A drying tube prevents moisture from contaminating the reactants. The drying tube contains CaCl2 a hygroscopic material whose function is to absorb the moisture so that it does not react with the Grignard reagent. Without the desiccating action of CaCl2, moisture will enter the reaction chamber,contaminating the reactants.
If water reacts with the Grignard reagent, an alkane is formed. The mechanism of this reaction is shown in the image attached. R here represents the alkyl moiety of the Grignard reagent.

The volume of water that will be produced from the reaction will be 6.3 mL
<h3>Stoichiometric calculation</h3>From the equation of the reaction:
The mole ratio of hydrogen sulfate to sodium hydroxide is 1:2.
Mole of hydrogen sulfate = 0.50 x 350/1000 = 0.175 moles
Mole of 15 grams sodium hydroxide = 15/40 = 0.375 moles
Thus, hydrogen sulfide is the limiting reagent.
Mole ratio of hydrogen sulfide to water = 1:2.
Equivalent mole of water = 0.175 x 2 = 0.35 moles
Mass of 0.35 moles of water = 0.35 x 18 = 6.3 grams.
1 gram of water = 1 ml.
Thus, 6.3 grams of water will be equivalent to 6.3 mL
