The present carbon skeleton in an ether is C-C-C-O-C-C-C because ethers conatins C-O-C as functional group
Answer:
2.53 L is the volume of H₂ needed
Explanation:
The reaction is: C₁₈H₃₀O₂ + 3H₂ → C₁₈H₃₆O₂
By the way we can say, that 1 mol of linolenic acid reacts with 3 moles of oxygen in order to produce, 1 mol of stearic acid.
By stoichiometry, ratio is 1:3
Let's convert the mass of the linolenic acid to moles:
10.5 g . 1 mol / 278.42 g = 0.0377 moles
We apply a rule of three:
1 mol of linolenic acid needs 3 moles of H₂ to react
Then, 0.0377 moles will react with (0.0377 . 3 )/1 = 0.113 moles of hydrogen
We apply the Ideal Gases Law to find out the volume (condition of measure are STP) → P . V = n . R . T → V = ( n . R .T ) / P
V = (0.113 mol . 0.082 L.atm/mol.K . 273.15K) 1 atm = 2.53 L
Method 1: gravimetry
advantages: Impurities in the sample can be identified
disadvantages: The process is long, because it goes through several stages
Method 2: titration
advantages: the process is fast, because the titrate and titrant react immediately
disadvantages: Sometimes the determination of the end point of the titration is carried out too fast or too slowly so that the calculations carried out are inaccurate
