Answer:

Methanol would be used as a reagent in excess, since it is a very low-cost solvent. For product isolation, the first thing to do is remove the methanol through a distillation process. The residue produced can be dissolved in diethyl ether. Using a NaHCO₃ solution, extraction is performed. When it separates into two phases, the product will be in the ether and the reagent in the aqueous phase. The ether can also be removed by distillation, and at the end of this process you will have the product you want.

How many grams are in 32.2 L of CO2?
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

63.25 grams of CO₂

Explanation:

To convert from liters to grams, we first need to convert from liters to moles. To do this, we divide the liters by 22.4, the amount of liters of a gas per mole.

32.2 / 22.4

= 1.4375 moles of CO₂

Now we want to convert from moles to grams. To do this, we multiply the moles by the molar mass of CO₂. The total molar mass can be found on the periodic table by adding up the molar mass of carbon (12) and two oxygen (32).

12 + 32 = 44

Now we want to multiply the moles by the molar mass.

1.4375 • 44

= 63.25 grams of CO₂

This is your answer.

Hope this helps!
