Answer:

SOCl2, Mg, CH3CHO, H3O^+

Explanation:

The reaction of the 2,2-dimethylpropan-1-ol with SOCl2 converts the alcohol to an alkyl halide. This now reacts with Mg metal to yield a Grignard reagent.

The Grignard reagent reacts with CH3CHO and acid to yield 4,4-dimethylpentan-2-ol as shown in the image attached to this answer.

Answer:

Explanation:

element - a basic substance that can't be simplified (hydrogen, oxygen, gold, etc...) molecule - two or more atoms that are chemically joined together (H2, O2, H2O, C6H12O6, etc...) compound - a substance that contains more than one element (H2O, C6H12O6, etc...)

What is the percent yield of O2 if 10.2 g of O2 is produced from the decomposition of 17.0 g of H2O?

yawa3891 [41]

The balanced chemical reaction will be:

2H2O = 2H2 + O2

We are given the amount of water used in the decomposition reaction. This will be our starting point.

17.0 g H2O (1 mol H2O/ 18.02 g H2O) (1 mol O2/2 mol H2O) ( 32.00 g O2/1mol O2) = 15.09 g O2

Percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield x 100

Percent yield =10.2 g / 15.09 g x 100

Percent yield = 67.58%
