Suppose a student started with 139.0 mg of trans-cinnamic acid, 463 mg of pyridinium tribromide, and 2.45 mL of glacial acetic a

cid. After the reaction and workup, the student ended up with 0.1866 g of brominated product. Calculate the student\'s theoretical and percent yields.

Answer:

0.2889 g  brominated product

64.6 %

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a bromination chemical reaction of an alkene  and we are asked to calculate the theoretical and percent yield. Thus to solve it we have to perform a calculation based on the balanced chemical reaction.

The pyridinium tribromide is used as a generator of molecular bromine in situ, and bromine will add to the double bond in trans-cinnamic acid so we know the reaction occur in a one to one mole fashion.

trans-cinnamic acid + pyridinium  tribromide ⇒ 2,3-dibromo-3-                          

                                                                             phenylpropanoic acid

Molar weight  trans-cinnamic acid  =  148.16 g/mol

mass trans-cinnamic acid  = 139.0 mg x  1g/1000 mg = 0.139 g

# mol trans-cinnamic acid =  0.139 g / 148 g/mol = 9.38 x 10⁻⁴ mol

Since our reaction is 1 mol trans-cinnamic acid  produces 1 mol 2,3-dibromo-3-phenylpropanoic acid, it follows that the theoretical yield is:

1 mol 2,3-dibromo-3-phenylpropanoic acid /  trans-cinnamic acid x 9.38 x 10⁻⁴ mol trans-cinnamic acid  

=  9.38 x 10⁻⁴ mol  2,3-dibromo-3-phenylpropanoic acid

In grams the the theoretical yield is:

molar mass  2,3-dibromo-3-phenylpropanoic acid = 307.97 g/mol

The theoretical mass  2,3-dibromo-3-phenylpropanoic acid:

=   9.38 x 10⁻⁴ mol  2,3-dibromo-3-phenylpropanoic acid x 307.97 g/mol

=   0.2889 g

% yield = mass experimental/mass theoretical

= 0.1866 g /  0.2889 g x 100 = 64.6 %

Answer:

32

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply both sides by 8.

y/8 = 4

y/8 × 8 = 4 × 8

y = 32

Vignesh owns a cottage in the shape of a cube with each edge of length 26 feet. The roof is in the shape of a square pyramid and
Zina [86]

Answer:

56√93 ≈ 540 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The roof is made up of 4 congruent isosceles triangles. Since the roof extends 2 ft over the edge of the cottage on each side, then the base of each triangle is 26 + 2 = 28 ft.

Let's calculate the area of one of the triangles and then just multiply by 4. See attachment. Drop a perpendicular from the vertex of a triangle to its base. We now have the triangle broken up into two right triangles. The hypotenuse is 17 ft and one of the legs of the right triangle is 28 / 2 = 14 ft. Then the height / other leg is:

\sqrt{17^2-14^2} =\sqrt{289-196} =\sqrt{93}

We now have the dimensions of each triangle: the height is √93 and the base is 28. The area of a triangle is: A = (1/2) * b * h, so we have the following.

A = (1/2) * b * h

A = (1/2) * 28 * √93 = 14√93

Multiply this by 4:

14√93 * 4 = 56√93

The total surface area is 56√93 ≈ 540 ft².
