Indicate how you might prepare acetic acid from ethene

ruslelena [56]

Acetic acid can be prepared from ethane by oxidizing it. Acetic acid is generally a carboxylic acid. These acids can be made by the oxidation of alcohols using potassium dichromate(VI) solution with sulfuric acid. Ethane is made into acetic acid in two steps. First it is formed into an aldehyde and then to acetic acid.

In this experiment we will be using a 0.05 M solution of HCl to determine the concentration of hydroxide (OH-) in a saturated so

gulaghasi [49]

<u>Answer:</u> The moles of hydroxide ions present in the sample is 0.0008 moles

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the concentration of acid, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

$n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2$

where,

$n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is HCl.

$n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is $Ca(OH)_2$

We are given:

$n_1=1\\M_1=0.05M\\V_1=16mL\\n_2=2\\M_2=?M\\V_2=36.0mL$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1\times 0.05\times 16=2\times M_2\times 36\\\\M_2=\frac{1\times 0.05\times 16}{2\times 36}=0.011M$

To calculate the moles of hydroxide ions, we use the equation used to calculate the molarity of solution:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}$

Molarity of solution = 0.011 M

Volume of solution = 36.0 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.011=\frac{\text{Moles of }Ca(OH)_2\times 1000}{36}\\\\\text{Moles of }Ca(OH)_2=\frac{0.011\times 36}{1000}=0.0004mol$

1 mole of calcium hydroxide produces 1 mole of calcium ions and 2 moles of hydroxide ions.

Moles of hydroxide ions = (0.0004 × 2) = 0.0008 moles

Hence, the moles of hydroxide ions present in the sample is 0.0008 moles
