Explanation:
You may have done a Williamson synthesis of guaifenesin by reacting guaiacol with 3-chloropropane-1,2-diol.
A. Mechanism
Step 1
NaOH converts guaiacol into a phenoxide ion.
Step 2
The phenoxide acts as the nucleophile in an SN2 reaction to displace the Cl from the alkyl halide.
B. Improve the yield
You probably carried out the reaction in ethanol solution — a polar protic solvent.
You might try doing the reaction in a polar aprotic solvent— perhaps DMSO.
A polar aprotic solvent does not hydrogen bond to nucleophiles, so they become stronger.
C. Another method of ether synthesis —dehydration of alcohols
Sulfuric acid catalyzes the conversion of primary alcohols to ethers.
This is also a nucleophilic displacement reaction.
Protonation of the OH converts it into a better leaving group.
Attack by a second molecule of alcohol forms the protonated ether.
A molecule of water then removes the proton.
When the amount of gas in a container is increased, the volume increases. Lussac's law states that the pressure of a given amount of gas held at constant volume is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature.
Answer:
C) H2S
Explanation:
In chemistry, the dissolution of one substance in another is dependent on the magnitude of intermolecular interaction between the two substances. Hence, if two substances do not interact in one way or the other, then one can not dissolve the other.
Let us consider the fact that NH3 is a polar molecule and it is a general principle that like dissolves like. Hence, only H2S which is also a polar molecule can effectively interact with NH3 due to dipole-dipole interaction between the two molecules.
Also, ammonia reacts with hydrogen sulphide as follows;
2NH3 + H2S → (NH4)2S
Hence H2S is more likely to dissolve in NH3.

Answer:
0.00246kg
Explanation:
1g = $40.63
$100 = $100/40.63 = 2.46g
2.46/1000 g = 0.00246kg
