Answer: The amount of water produced is 9.3 grams
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.
mass of reactants = mass of methane + mass of oxygen = 22.5 g + 35.7 g = 58.2 g
mass of products = mass of carbon dioxide + mass of water = 48.9 g + mass of water
48.9 g + mass of water = 58.2 g
mass of water = 9.3 g
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
The reaction that we are considering here is quite a knotty reaction. It is difficult to decide if the mechanism is actually E1 or E2 since both are equally probable based on the mass of scientific evidence regarding this reaction. However, we can easily assume that the methylenecyclohexane was formed by an E1 mechanism.
Looking at the products, one could convincingly assert that the reaction leading to the formation of the two main products proceeds via an E1 mechanism with the formation of a carbocation intermediate as has been shown in mechanism attached to this answer. Possible rearrangement of the carbocation yields the 3-methylcyclohexene product.
