Using PV = nRT, we can calculate the moles of the sample.
874 mmHg = 116,524 Pa
n = PV/RT
n = 116,524 x 294 x 10⁻⁶ / 8.314 x (140 + 273)
n = 9.98 x 10⁻³ mol
moles = mass / Mr
Mr = 0.271/9.98 x 10⁻³
Mr = 27.2
Mass of empirical formula = 14
Repeat units = 27.2 / 14 ≈ 2
Formula of substance:
C₂H₄
Combustion equation:
C₂H₄ + 3O₂ → 2CO₂ + 2H₂O
1 mole produces 2 moles of CO₂, so 3 moles will produce 6 moles CO₂
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
This conversion must go through a sequence of steps as i have shown in the image attached to this answer.
The acetone is converted to propan-2-ol using LiAlH4, THF and acid. The propan-2-ol may be converted to propene by E2 elimination. Addition of HBr yields 2-bromo propane.
The Wurtz reaction converts 2-bromo propane to 2,3- dimethyl butane. This can be brominated in the presence of light to yield 3-bromo-2,3-dimethyl butane. Elimination of HBr using a base leads to the formation of the required product as shown.
