Diethyl ether is produced from ethanol according to the following equation:

1 answer:

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

Calculate the wavelength, in nanometers, of the light emitted by a hydrogen atom when its electron fallsfrom the n = 7 to the n

Helga [31]

Answer:

λ=2167.6 nm

The wavelength of light emitted is 2167.6 nm.

Explanation:

We recall that Eₙ= $\frac{-2.18*10^{-18} J}{n^{2} }$

since there was transition from n7 to n=4 we will first calculate the change in the energy i.e ΔE

ΔE=E₄-E₇

ΔE= $-2.18*10^{-18} J(\frac{1}{4^{2} } -\frac{1}{7^{2} } )$

ΔE=-9.1760*10^-20 J

Now:

|ΔE|=Energy of photon=h*v=h*c/λ

λ=h*c/|ΔE|

λ= $\frac{6.63*10^{-34}J.s*3.00*10^{8}m/s }{9.1760*10^{-20} J }$

λ=2.1676*10^-6 m

λ=2167.6*10^-9 m

λ=2167.6 nm

The wavelength of light emitted is 2167.6 nm.

How many grams of ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) would be required to make a saturated solution in 1000 grams of water at 50 degrees

Pavel [41]

Since,
1000 grams of water = 1000 mL of water
So,
At any of the given temperature:
1000 mL = 10 x 100 mL

moles of NH4Cl = 53.5/53.49
= 1.0 m
= 1.0 mol/Kg
Delta T = 2 x 1.86 x 1.0
= 3.72 c
= - 3.72 °C
