Answer:
94.61 %
Explanation:
percent yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) X 100%
The balanced equation for the reaction is:
H2 (g ) + Cl2(g) => 2 HCl (l)
So, the theoretical yield =
7.25g of chlorine X (2mol of Cl / 35.453 g of Cl) X (2mol Cl / 2mol of HCl) X 37.469g of Hcl / 2mol of Hcl = 0.409 x 18.735 = 7.663g of Hcl
Using this theoretical yield and the provided value for actual yield, the percent yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) X 100%
= (7.25 g / 7.663g) X 100
= 94.61 %
Answer: cycloaddition of 1,3-butadiene and allyl anion is thermally allowed.
Explanation:
Using the frontier molecular orbital approach, we consider if the symmetry of the LUMO of the diene (1,3-cyclobutadiene) and the HOMO of the dienophile allyl anion), match each other since the diels alder reaction is a symmetry allowed process. The symmetries of these frontier molecular orbitals match each other hence the reaction is thermally allowed. It should be notes that 4+2 cycloadditions are thermally allowed although they are slow.
The distance from the nucleus is close to the electron orbital of the earth
