<span>Boyles law states that the volume of a gas is proportional to the moles of the gas when pressure and temperature are kept constant. </span>
The balanced chemical equation is given as:
2CH3CH2OH(l) → CH3CH2OCH2CH3(l) + H2O(l)
We are given the yield of CH3CH2OCH2CH3 and the amount of ethanol to be used for the reaction. These values will be the starting point for the calculations.
Theoretical amount of product produced:
329 g CH3CH2OH ( 1 mol / 46.07 g ) ( 1 mol CH3CH2OCH2CH3 / 2 mol CH3CH2OH ) (74.12 g / mol ) = 264.66 g CH3CH2OCH2CH3
% yield = .775 = actual yield / 264.66
actual yield = 205.11 g CH3CH2OCH2CH3
OH- is common to bases.
Explanation:
The base is a is an ionic compounds which when placed in aqueous solution dissociates in to a cation and an anion OH-.
The presence of OH- in the solution shows that the solution is basic or alkaline.
From Bronsted and Lowry concept base is a molecule that accepts a proton for example in NaOH, Na is a proton donor and OH is the proton acceptor.
A base accepts hydrogen ion and the concentration of OH is always higher in base.
There is a presence of conjugate acid and conjugate base in the Bronsted and Lowry acid and base.
Conjugate acid is one which is formed when a base gained a proton.
Conjugate base is one which is formed when an acid looses a proton.
And from the Arrhenius base Theory, the base is one that dissociates in to water as OH-.
