Butanal, an aldehyde, can be made from 1-bromobutane, but it requires two reactions in sequence. What are the two reagents that
1 answer:
Answer:
See explanation and image attached
Explanation:
My aim is to convert 1-bromobutane to butanal. The first step is to react the 1-bromobutane substrate with water. This reaction occurs by SN2 mechanism to yield 1-butanol. Hence reagent A is water.
1-butanol is now reacted with an oxidizing agent such as acidified K2Cr2O7 (reagent B) to yield butanal. Note that primary alkanols are oxidized to alkanals.
These sequence of reactions are shown in the image attached.

Answer: 448 g of will be required to completely react with 784g moles of CO(g) during this reaction.
Explanation:
To calculate the moles :
The balanced chemical equation is:
According to stoichiometry :
2 moles of require = 1 mole of
Thus 28 moles of will require=
of
Mass of
Thus 448g of will be required to completely react with 784g moles of CO(g) during this reaction.
