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

Which image shows 2-hexyne?

MaRussiya [10]

Answer: C

Explanation:

A. Shows 3-Hexyne (NOT 2-HEXYNE)

B. Shows 7 carbons (too many) (NOT 2-HEXYNE)

C. Shows a triple bond (yne) and 6 carbons and it's on the second carbon (2-HEXYNE)

D. Shows two substitent on the second carbon but the triple bond is on the 3rd carbon so it's 2,2-dimethyl-3-heptyne (NOT 2-HEXYNE)

How do scientists perform an artificial transmutation

Ilya [14]

Scientists can bombard atomic nuclei with high-energy particles such as protons, neutrons, or alpha particles. Scientists synthesize a transuranium element by the artificial transmutation of a lighter element. ... It involves nuclear change, not chemical change. NOTE nuclear decay is a transmutation that happens naturally.
