A reaction was performed in which 3.6 g 3.6 g of benzoic acid was reacted with excess methanol to make 1.3 g 1.3 g of methyl ben

Anit [1.1K]

Answer: The percent yield of the reaction is 32.34 %

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For benzoic acid:

Given mass of benzoic acid = 3.6 g

Molar mass of benzoic acid = 122.12 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of benzoic acid}=\frac{3.6g}{122.12g/mol}=0.0295mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of benzoic acid and methanol is:

$\text{Benzoic acid + methanol}\rightarrow \text{methyl benzoate}$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction

1 mole of benzoic acid produces 1 mole of methyl benzoate

So, 0.0295 moles of benzoic acid will produce = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.0295=0.108$ moles of methyl benzoate

Now, calculating the mass of methyl benzoate from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of methyl benzoate = 136.15 g/mol

Moles of methyl benzoate = 0.0295 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.0295mol=\frac{\text{Mass of methyl benzoate}}{136.15g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of methyl benzoate}=(0.0295mol\times 136.15g/mol)=4.02g$

To calculate the percentage yield of methyl benzoate, we use the equation:

$\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

Experimental yield of methyl benzoate = 1.3 g

Theoretical yield of methyl benzoate = 4.02 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\%\text{ yield of methyl benzoate}=\frac{1.3g}{4.02g}\times 100\\\\\% \text{yield of methyl benzoate}=32.34\%$

Hence, the percent yield of the reaction is 32.34 %

What happens to a glass of sugar solution when sugar is added to it?

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The molarity of the solution increases.

Explanation:

Molarity is the measure of the concentration of the solute in the solution. In this case, the solvent is the sugar solution and the solute is the sugar.

If sugar is ADDED to the already sugary solution, then there would be more sugar. Therefore, the sugar (solute) would increase in number.

This means that the answer is the third choice: The molarity of the solution increases.

The answer would not be the first or second choice because there isn't anything in the question that implies water. It just says sugar solution.

The answer is not the last choice because the sugar concentration does not decrease after you have added more sugar to it. It increases.

Draw one product that you would expect from the reaction of 1 mol of 1,3-butadiene and 1 mol of h2o, cat. h2so4?

Daniel [21]

1,3-butadiene is the simplest conjugated diene and undergoes 1,4 addition reaction in acidic environment.
Chemical reaction: CH₂=CH-CH=CH₂ + H₂O → CH₃-CH=CH-CH₂-OH.
CH₂=CH-CH=CH₂ - 1,3-butadiene.
CH₃-CH=CH-CH₂-OH - 2-buten-1-ol.
Diene or diolefin is a hydrocarbon that has two carbon double bonds.

How do you know the number of valence electrons for those elements?

salantis [7]

Answer:

For neutral atoms, the number of valence electrons is equal to the atom's main group number. The main group number for an element can be found from its column on the periodic table. For example, carbon is in group 4 and has 4 valence electrons. Oxygen is in group 6 and has 6 valence electrons.
