Answer: 41.5 mL
Explanation:
Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of the solution.
where,
n = moles of solute
= volume of solution in L
Given : 59.4 g of in 100 g of solution
moles of
Volume of solution =
Now put all the given values in the formula of molality, we get
To calculate the volume of acid, we use the equation given by neutralisation reaction:
where,
are the molarity and volume of stock acid which is
are the molarity and volume of dilute acid which is
We are given:
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Thus 41.5 mL of the solution would be required to prepare 1550 mL of a .30M solution of the acid

Explanation:
You may have done a Williamson synthesis of guaifenesin by reacting guaiacol with 3-chloropropane-1,2-diol.
A. Mechanism
Step 1
NaOH converts guaiacol into a phenoxide ion.
Step 2
The phenoxide acts as the nucleophile in an SN2 reaction to displace the Cl from the alkyl halide.
B. Improve the yield
You probably carried out the reaction in ethanol solution — a polar protic solvent.
You might try doing the reaction in a polar aprotic solvent— perhaps DMSO.
A polar aprotic solvent does not hydrogen bond to nucleophiles, so they become stronger.
C. Another method of ether synthesis —dehydration of alcohols
Sulfuric acid catalyzes the conversion of primary alcohols to ethers.
This is also a nucleophilic displacement reaction.
Protonation of the OH converts it into a better leaving group.
Attack by a second molecule of alcohol forms the protonated ether.
A molecule of water then removes the proton.
