Suppose a student started with 142.0 mg of trans-cinnamic acid, 412 mg of pyridinium tribromide, and 2.30 mL of glacial acetic a
cid. After the reaction and workup, the student ended up with 0.2223 g of brominated product. Calculate the student\'s theoretical and percent yields.
1 answer:
Answer: Theoretical Yield = 0.2952 g
Percentage Yield = 75.3%
Explanation:
Calculation of limiting reactant:
n-trans-cinnamic acid moles = (142mg/1000) / 148.16 = 9.584*10⁻⁴ mol
pyridium tribromide moles = (412mg/1000) / 319.82= 1.288*10⁻³ mol
- n-trans-cinnamic acid is the limiting reactant
The molar ratio according to the equation mentioned is equals to 1:1
The brominated product moles is also = 9.584*10⁻⁴ mol
Theoretical yield = (9.584*10⁻⁴ mol) * (Mr of brominated product)
= (9.584*10⁻⁴ mol) * (307.97) = 0.2952 g
Percentage Yield is : Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield = 0.2223/0.2952
= 75.3%

Answer:
Explanation: The strengths of the inter molecular forces varies as follows -
The normal boiling point of CSe2 is 125°C and that of CS2 is 116°C, which explains the trend that as we move down the group, the boiling point of e compound increases as the size increases.
This usually happens because larger and heavier atoms have a tendency to exhibit greater inter molecular strengths due to the increase in size . As the size increases, the valence shell electrons move far away from the nucleus, thus has a greater tendency to attract the temporary dipoles.
And larger the inter molecular forces, more tightly the electrons will be held to each other and thus more thermal energy would be required to break the bonds between them.
