What symbol is used to show the standard reduction potential of an oxidation reaction in a half-cell?

1 answer:

6 0

The reduction potential of an oxidation reaction in a half-cell is denoted by the symbol E°.
Reduction potential is the tendency of a given chemical species to become reduced, that is, gain electrons or undergo a decrease in oxidation number. The greater the reduction potential, the more likely that a species will be reduced.

4.33 g of 3-hexanol were obtained from 5.84 g of hex-3-ene. Determine the percentage yield of 3-hexanol. a Determine the moles o

Vilka [71]

Answer: The amount of hex-3-ene used is 0.0711 moles and the percent yield of 3-hexanol is 59.56 %

Explanation:

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

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

Given mass of hex-3-ene = 5.84 g

Molar mass of hex-3-ene = 82.14 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of hex-3-ene}=\frac{5.84g}{82.14/mol}=0.0711mol$

The chemical equation for the conversion of hex-3-ene to 3-hexanol follows:

$\text{hex-3-ene}+H_2O\xrightarrow []{10\% H_2SO_4} \text{3-hexanol}$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of hex-3-ene produces 1 mole of 3-hexanol

So, 0.0711 moles of hex-3-ene will produce = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.0711=0.0711mol$ of 3-hexanol

Now, calculating the mass of 3-hexanol from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of 3-hexanol = 102.2 g/mol

Moles of 3-hexanol = 0.0711 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.0711mol=\frac{\text{Mass of 3-hexanol}}{102.2g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of 3-hexanol}=(0.0711mol\times 102.2g/mol)=7.27g$

To calculate the percentage yield of 3-hexanol, we use the equation:

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

Experimental yield of 3-hexanol = 4.33 g

Theoretical yield of 3-hexanol = 7.27 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\%\text{ yield of 3-hexanol}=\frac{4.33g}{7.27g}\times 100\\\\\% \text{yield of 3-hexanol}=59.56\%$

Hence, the amount of hex-3-ene used is 0.0711 moles and the percent yield of 3-hexanol is 59.56 %
