3 0

The methyl salicylate (wintergreen oil) is the methyl ester of salicylic acid.

Methyl salicylate is produced by esterifying salicylic acid with methanol, the reaction scheme is attached to this answer. In the past, it was commonly distilled from the twigs of Betula lenta (sweet birch) and Gaultheria procumbens (eastern teaberry or wintergreen).

A hydrocarbon contains 85.7% carbon and the remainder
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

CH₂ ;  67.1 %

Explanation:

To determine the empirical formula we need to find what the mole ratio is in whole numbers of the atoms in the compound. To do that we will first need the atomic weights of C and H and then perform our calculation

Assume 100 grams of the compound.

# mol C = 85.7 g / 12.01 g/mol = 7.14 mol

# mol H = 14.3 g /  1.008 g/mol = 14.19 mol

The proportion is 14.9 mol H/ 7.14 mol C = 2 mol H/ 1 mol C

So the empirical formula is CH₂

For the second part we will need to first calculate the theoretical yield for the 12.03 g NaBH₄  reacted and then calculate the percent yield given the 0.295 g B₂H₆ produced.

We need to calculate the moles of  NaBH₄ ( M.W = 37.83 g/mol )

1.203 g  NaBH₄ / 37.83 g/mol =  0.0318 mol

Theoretical yield from balanced chemical equation:

0.0318 mol NaBH₄ x 1 mol B₂H₆ / mol NaBH₄ = 0.0159 mol B₂H₆

Theoretical mass yield B₂H₆ = 0.0159 mol x 27.66 g/ mol =  0.440 g

% yield = 0.295 g/ 0.440 g x 100 = 67.1 %
