juin [17]3 years ago
6 0
The balanced chemical equation is given as:

2CH3CH2OH(l) → CH3CH2OCH2CH3(l) + H2O(l)

We are given the yield of  CH3CH2OCH2CH3 and the amount of ethanol to be used for the reaction. These values will be the starting point for the calculations.

Theoretical amount of product produced:
329 g CH3CH2OH ( 1 mol / 46.07 g ) ( 1 mol CH3CH2OCH2CH3 / 2 mol CH3CH2OH ) (74.12 g / mol ) = 264.66 g CH3CH2OCH2CH3 

% yield = .775 = actual yield / 264.66


actual yield = 205.11 g CH3CH2OCH2CH3

A student has a piece of aluminum metal. Which is the most reasonable assumption the student could make about the metal?
igor_vitrenko [27]

Aluminium belongs to 13th group of periodic table. It undergoes oxidation to given Al^+3 .

It is observed that when aluminium is added to a solution of copper sulphate the colour of the solution changes from blue to grey. It is due to formation of grey coloured solution of aluminium sulphate as

2Al^+3  + 3SO4^-2  ---> Al2(SO4)3

What is the molality of a solution of water and kcl if the freezing point of the solution is –3mc030-1.jpgc?
Natasha_Volkova [10]
We will use the expression for freezing point depression ∆Tf
     ∆Tf = i Kf m
Since we know that the freezing point of water is 0 degree Celsius, temperature change ∆Tf is 
     ∆Tf = 0C - (-3°C) = 3°C 
and the van't Hoff Factor i is approximately equal to 2 since one molecule of KCl in aqueous solution will produce one K+ ion and  one Cl- ion:
     KCl → K+ + Cl- 
Therefore, the molality m of the solution can be calculated as 
     3 = 2 * 1.86 * m
     m = 3 / (2 * 1.86)
     m = 0.80 molal
