Answer:
See explanation below
Explanation:
The question is incomplete. However in picture 1, you have the starting materials and the structure of the product, which you miss in this part.
Now, in picture 2, you have the starting reactant and the product, and the mechanism that is taking place here.
First, all what we have here is an acid base reaction. In the first step, we are using the acid medium to convert the reactant into an alcohol. The bromine there, is not leaving the molecule yet, because it's neccesary for the next step. The starting reactant is an alkene, in that way, we can convert the reactant in the first step into a secondary alcohol. In other words, the first reaction is a alkene hydration.
In the second step, we use a strong base. You may say this is a strong nucleophile and will do a Sn2 reaction to form another alcohol there, but it's not the case, because, before any kind of reaction happens, the priority here is always the acid base, so the base will react with the acidic hydrogen. In this case, it will substract an hydrogen from the OH. When this happens, the lone pair will do an auto condensation here, and attacks the bromine in the molecule. In this way, the molecule will become a cyclomolecule, and that way it form the final product.

<h3>Answer:</h3>
The mass of excessive water (H₂O) is 40.815 kg
<h3>Explanation:</h3>The Equation for the reaction is;
Li₂O(s) + H₂O(l) → 2LiOH(s)
From the question;
Mass of water removed is 80.0 kg
Mass of available Li₂O is 65.0 kg
We are required to calculate the mass of excessive reagent.
<h3>Step 1: Calculating the number of moles of water to be removed</h3>Moles = Mass ÷ Molar mass
Molar mass of water = 18.02 g/mol
Mass of water = 80 kg (but 1000 g = 1kg)
= 80,000 g
Therefore;
= 4.44 × 10³ moles
<h3>Step 2: Moles of Li₂O available </h3>Moles = mass ÷ molar mass
Mass of Li₂O available = 65.0 kg or 65,000 g
Molar mass Li₂O = 29.88 g/mol
Moles of Li₂O = 65,000 g ÷ 29.88 g/mol
= 2.175 × 10³ moles Li₂O
<h3>Step 3: Mass of excess reagent </h3>From the equation; Li₂O(s) + H₂O(l) → 2LiOH(s)
1 mole of Li₂O reacts with 1 mole of water to form two moles of LiOH
The ratio of Li₂O to H₂O is 1:1
- Thus, 2.175 × 10³ moles of Li₂O will react with 2.175 × 10³ moles of water.
- However, the number of moles of water to be removed is 4.44 × 10³ moles but only 2.175 × 10³ moles will react with the available Li₂O.
- This means, Li₂O is the limiting reactant while water is the excessive reagent.
Therefore:
Moles of excessive water = 4.44 × 10³ moles - 2.175 × 10³ moles
= 2.265 × 10³ moles
Mass of excessive water = 2.265 × 10³ moles × 18.02 g/mol
= 4.0815 × 10⁴ g or
= 40.815 kg
Thus, the mass of excessive water is 40.815 kg
