Treatment of 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenol with bromine in cold acetic acid gives the compound C18H29BrO in quantitative yield. The

infrared spectrum of this compound contains absorptions at 1630 and 1655 cm^-1. Its 1H NMR spectrum shows only three peaks (all singlets), at δ 1.2, 1.3, and 6.9, in the ratio 9:18:2. What is a reasonable structure for the compound?

Answer:

2,4,6-tri-tert-butylcyclohexa-2,5-dienone

Explanation:

1. Information from the formulas

C₁₈H₃₀O ⟶ C₁₈H₂₉BrO

A Br has replaced an H.

2. Information from the reaction

These look like the conditions for an electrophilic aromatic substitution.

3. Possible mechanism (Fig. 1)

The product must be highly symmetrical, because there are so few NMR signals.

(i) The bromonium ion attacks at the para position, forming a resonance-stabilized carbocation intermediate.

(ii) A bromide ion attacks the H of the hydroxyl group to form 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylcyclohexa-2,5-dienone.

4. Confirmatory evidence (Fig. 2)

(a) Infrared  

1630 cm⁻¹:  C=O stretch

1655 cm⁻¹ : C=C stretch

(b)NMR

1.2 (9h, s):    the 4-tert-butyl group

1.3 (18H, s): the 2- and 6- tert- butyl groups

6.9 (2H, s):    the alkene H atoms

The ratio is 9:18:2.

For each trial, compute the mol of titrant; (molarity x L) and keep the number of significant figures to 4.
MrMuchimi

Answer:

Trial     Number of moles

           

  1          0.001249mol

  2         0.001232mol

  3          0.001187 mol

Explanation:

To calculate the <em>number of moles of tritant</em> you need its<em> molarity</em>.

Since the<em> molarity</em> is not reported, I will use 0.1000M (four significant figures), which is used in other similar problems.

<em>Molarity</em> is the concentration of the solution in number of moles of solute per liter of solution.

In this case the solute is <em>NaOH</em>.

The formula is:

          Molarity=\dfrac{\text{Number of moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution in liters}}

Solve for the <em>number of moles:</em>

          \text{Number of moles}=Molarity\times Volume\text{ }in\text{ }liters

Then, using the molarity of 0.1000M and the volumes for each trial you can calculate the number of moles of tritant.

Trial    mL           liters          Number of moles

           

1          12.49       0.01249        0.01249liters × 0.1000M = 0.001249mol

2         12.32      0.01232         0.01232liters × 0.1000M = 0.001232mol

3          11.87       0.01187         0.01187liters × 0.1000M = 0.001187 mol

If you measured out 100.0g of water, how many molecules of water would you have drank?
12345 [234]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

3.342 x 10^24 molecules of water

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Given;

Mass of water = 100.0 g

Required to determine the number of molecules in 100.0 g of water

Using Avogadro's constant

1 mole of a compound contains 6.022 × 10^22  molecules

Thus;

1 mole of H₂O contains 6.022 × 10^23 molecules

But;

1 mole = 18.02 g/mol

Therefore;

18.02 g of water contains 6.022 × 10^23 molecules

100.0 g of water will have;

= (100. 0 g ×6.022 × 10^23 molecules) ÷ 18.02

= 3.342 x 10^24 molecules

What is the mole fraction of cation in 1M of aluminium sulphate​
Svetllana [295]

The mole fraction of cation (Al)=0.4

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

1 M of Aluminium sulphate​

Required

The mole fraction of cation

Solution

Ionization of the Aluminum sulfate solution( assume 1 L solution ) :

mol Al₂(SO₄)₃ = M x V = 1 M x 1 L = 1 mol

Al₂(SO₄)₃⇒2Al³⁺ + 3SO₄²⁻

1 mol          2 mol   3 mol

From this equation, total mol in solution = 2+3 = 5 moles

Mol fraction Al(as a cation) :

= 2/5=0.4

For the chemical reaction, 2HCl + Ca(OH)2 ➡️ CaCl2 + 2H2O what mass of calcium hydroxide in grams is needed to produce 3.63 mol
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

2HCl (aq) + Ca

(

O

H

)

2

(aq) ---------> Ca

C

l

2

(ppt) + 2

H

2

O (aq)

let us calculate the number of moles , as per the chemical reactions;

2 moles of HCl solution reacts with one mole Calcium Hydroxide

Ca

(

O

H

)

2

One mole of HCl has mass : 36.5 g/mol, two moles of HCl will have mass, 73 g.

One mole of Ca

(

O

H

)

2

has mass 74.1 g

as per equation; 73 g of HCl reacts with 74.1 g of Ca

(

O

H

)

2

1g of HCl reacts with 74.1g / 73 of Ca

(

O

H

)

2

1g of HCl reacts with 1.015 g of Ca

(

O

H

)

2

NOW AS PER THE QUESTION MOLARITY AND VOLUME OF HYDROCHLORIC ACID IS GIVEN, IT CAN BE USED TO CALCULATE THE MASS OF HYDROCHLORIC ACID IN THE SOLUTION.

NUMBER OF MOLES of HCl ; Molarity of solution x Volume of Solution

# of moles of HCl = (0.40 mol/L ) x 350 mL

= (0.40 mol/L ) x 0.350 L = 0.14 mol

mass of HCl that makes 0.14 mol of HCl = # of moles x molar mass of HCl

mass of HCl = 0.14 mol x 36.5 g/ mol

mass of HCl = 5.11g

As per Stoichiometry , 1g of HCl reacts with 1.015 g of Ca

(

O

H

)

2

, 5.11g of HCl can react with 5.11 x 1.015 = 5.1865 g or 5.2 g of

Ca

(

O

H

)

2

.
