A student isolated 7.2 g of 1-bromobutane reacting equimolar amounts of 1-butanol (10 ml) and NaBr (11.1 g) in the presence of s

Alla [95]

<u>Answer:</u> The percent yield of the 1-bromobutane is 48.65 %

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

<u>For NaBr:</u>

Given mass of NaBr = 11.1 g

Molar mass of NaBr = 103 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of NaBr}=\frac{11.1g}{103g/mol}=0.108mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of 1-butanol and NaBr is:

$\text{1-butanol + NaBr}\rightarrow \text{1-bromobutane}$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction

1 mole of NaBr produces 1 mole of 1-bromobutane

So, 0.108 moles of NaBr will produce = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.108=0.108$ moles of 1-bromobutane

Now, calculating the mass of 1-bromobutane from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of 1-bromobutane = 137 g/mol

Moles of 1-bromobutane = 0.108 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.108mol=\frac{\text{Mass of 1-bromobutane}}{137g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of 1-bromobutane}=(0.108mol\times 137g/mol)=14.80g$

To calculate the percentage yield of 1-bromobutane, we use the equation:

$\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

Experimental yield of 1-bromobutane = 7.2 g

Theoretical yield of 1-bromobutane = 14.80 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\%\text{ yield of 1-bromobutane}=\frac{7.2g}{14.80g}\times 100\\\\\% \text{yield of 1-bromobutane}=48.65\%$

Hence, the percent yield of the 1-bromobutane is 48.65 %

why do we heat the test tube in a glass beaker during a chemistry experiment and not directly over a flame?

bearhunter [10]

It is not directly over a flame because it depends on the substance you might not want to heat it too much.you never know what could happen

Indicate the number of significant figures in the measured number 0.0020 <br> A. 4<br> B. 5<br> C. 2

Sergio [31]

<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is C. 2.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given the number '0.0020' and we are to indicate the number of significant figures in the given measured number.

According to the rules of significant figures, numbers that are non-zero, zeros between any two significant numbers and the ending zeros in the decimal position are categorized as significant figures.

Since there is one non-zero number and one ending zero in the decimal position, therefore 0.0020 has 2 significant figures.

Utilizing dimensional analysis find the number of inches in a kilometer given that 1 inch equals 2.54 cm

hodyreva [135]

To solve this problem, separate it into chunks that you know. You know that there are 2.54 centimeters in 1 inch. You know that there are 100 centimeters in 1 meter. You know that there are 1000 meters in a kilometer. Therefore, we'll convert in this order: 1) from kilometers to meters, 2) from meters to centimeters, and 3) from centimeters to inches.
1) 1km × 1000m/1km
= 1000m
2) 1000m × 100cm/1m
= 100000cm
3) 100000cm × 1in/2.54cm
≈ 39370in
So, there are approximately 39370 inches in a kilometer.

What is the difference between a physical and chemical change? (Use words reactants, products, atoms and molecules.)

jeka94

Answer:

A physical change, such as a state change or dissolving, does not create a new substance, but a chemical change does. In a chemical reaction, the atoms and molecules that interact with each other are called reactants. In a chemical reaction, the atoms and molecules produced by the reaction are called products.
