Compounds X and Y both have the formula C7H14. Both X and Y react with one molar equivalent of hydrogen in the presence of a pal

ladium catalyst to form 2-methylhexane. The heat of hydrogenation of X is greater than that of Y. Both X and Y react with HCl to give the same single C7H15Cl compound as the major product. What is the structure of X?

Answer:

See explanation and image attached

Explanation:

Alkenes undergo hydrogenation to give the corresponding alkanes. Where the structure of the original alkene is unknown, we can deduce the structure of the alkene from the structure of the products obtained when it undergoes various chemical reactions.

Now, the fact that we obtained 2-methylhexane upon hydrogenation and the two compounds had different heats of hydrogenation means that the two compounds were geometric isomers. The original compounds must have been cis-2-methyl-3-hexene and trans-2-methyl-3-hexene.

When reacted with HCl, the same compound C7H15Cl is formed because the stereo chemistry is removed.

However, we know that the trans isomer is more stable than the cis isomer hence the cis isomer always has a higher heat of hydrogenation than the trans isomer. Thus X is cis-2-methyl-3-hexene.

Calcium oxide reacts with water in a combination reaction to produce calcium hydroxide: CaO (s) + H2O (l) → Ca(OH)2 (s) In a p
dybincka [34]

Answer:

The option closest to the percentage yield is option;

d. 81.1

Explanation:

The given chemical equation of the reaction is presented as follows;

CaO (s) + H₂O (l) → Ca(OH)₂

The mass of CaO in the experiment, m = 2.00 g

The volume of water with which the CaO was reacted = Excess volume of water

Number of moles = Mass/(Molar mass)

The mass of Ca(OH)₂ recovered, actual yield = 2.14 g

The molar mass of CaO = 56.0774 g/mol

The number of moles of CaO in the reaction, n₁ = 2.00 g/(56.0774 g/mol ≈ 0.036 moles

The molar mass of Ca(OH)₂ = 74.093 g/mol

The number of moles of Ca(OH)₂ in the reaction, n₂ = 2.14 g/(74.093 g/mol) ≈ 0.029 moles

From the given chemical reaction, one mole of CaO reacts with one mole of H₂O to produce one mole of Ca(OH)₂

Therefore, 0.036 moles of CaO will produce 0.036 moles of Ca(OH)₂

Mass = Number of moles × Molar mass

The mass of 0.036 moles of Ca(OH)₂ ≈ 0.036 moles × 74.093 g/mol = 2.667348 grams

∴ The theoretical yield of Ca(OH)₂ = 2.667348 grams

Percentage \ yield = \dfrac{Actual \ yield}{Theoretical \ yield}  \times 100 \%

The percentage yield = (2.14 g)/(2.667348 grams) × 100 = 80.23%

Therefore, the option which is closest is option d. 81.1.

What is the volume, in liters, of 576 grams of so2 gas at stp?
katen-ka-za [31]
The volume  in  liters  of  576 grams  of SO2  gas  at STP  is   calculated as below

calculate the moles of SO2 = mass/molar  mass

= 576 g/64 g /mol  = 9 moles

At  STP  1mole =22.4 L
what  9 mole =? liters

by cross  multiplication

= 22.4 L x  9 moles/ 1moles = 201.6 liters
