Answer:

Polyhydroxyl alcohols

Explanation:

Whenever we have several C-OH bonds, we have a polyhydroxyl alcohol. For example, if we have just one alcohol group, that is, an R-OH group, then the naming is simple, say, we have EtOH, it's ethanol.

The problem becomes more complicated when we have several hydroxyl groups present in the alcohol. Let's say we have an ethane molecule and we replace the hydrogen atoms of carbon 1 and 2 with hydroxyl groups. In that case, we have 1,2-ethanediol. Similarly, we can have triols etc.

That said, we have poly (several) hydroxyl groups and we can generalize this to having polyhydroxyl alcohols.

After distilling your crude methyl benzoate, you set aside 4.83 grams of the purified ester. You then prepare the grignard reage

Ber [7]

Answer:

95.6 %

Explanation:

For this question, we will have 2 reactions, the formation of the grignard reagent and the formation of the alcohol. The first step then is the calculation of the maximum amount of the grignard reagent. For this, we have to convert the grams to moles and check the smallest value. To do this we have to take into account the following conversion ratios:

Molar mass of Mg = 24 g/mol

Molar mass of phenylmagnesium bromide ( $C_6H_5Br$ )= 157 g/mol

Density of bromobenzene= 1.5 g/mL

Molar ratio between Mg and $C_6H_5Br$ = 1:1

$2.3~g~Mg\frac{1~mol~Mg}{24~g~Mg}=0.096~mol~Mg$

$9.45~mL~\frac{1g}{1.5mL}\frac{1~mol~C_6H_5Br}{157~g}=0.0402~mol~C_6H_5Br$

The smallest value is the mol of bromobenzene therefore 0.0402 mol of phenylmagnesium bromide would be produced.

The next step is repite the same steps for the reaction of formation of the alcohol. Therefore we have to find the moles of methyl benzoate, so:

Molar mass of methyl benzoate: 136.14 g/mol

$4.83~g~\frac{1~mol}{136.14~g}=0.35~mol$

The we have to divide by the coefficient of each reactive in the balance reaction. So:

$\frac{0.35~mol}{1}=0.35$

$\frac{0.0402~mol}{2}=0.0201$

Therefore the limiting reagent would be the phenylmagnesium bromide. Now, the molar ratio between the phenylmagnesium bromide and triphenyl carbinol is 2:1, so the amount of alcohol produced is 0.0201 mol triphenyl carbinol. The next step is the conversion from mol to grams of triphenyl carbinol:

Molar mass of triphenyl carbinol= 260.33 g/mol

$0.0201~mol\frac{260.33~g}{1~mol}=5.23~g~triphenyl carbinol$
