I think it's D, because theoretical yield is like, the yield you'd get if 100% of the reactants formed to make product. Well that's how I think of it, but it has something to do with limiting reagents and stuff. Sorry this isn't a really detailed explanation.
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
The first step in this reaction is a unimolecular reaction. It involves the formation of the carbocation. This is so because tertiary alkyl halides only undergo substitution by SN1 mechanism due to sterric crowding.
The second step in the reaction is bi molecular. In this step, the carbocation now combines with the OH^- to yield the alcohol.
Net equation of the reaction is;
(CH3)3CBr + OH^- -------> (CH3)3COH + Br^-
The intermediate here is the carbocation, (CH3)3C^+
Answer:
b. 54.9%
Explanation:
An emerald gemstone has the formula Be₃Al₂Si₁₆O₁₈. We can find the mass of each element in 1 mole of Be₃Al₂Si₁₆O₁₈ by multiplying the molar mass of the element by its atomicity.
Be: 3 × 9.01 g = 27.03 g
Al: 2 × 26.98 g = 53.96 g
Si: 16 × 28.09 g = 449.4 g
O: 18 × 16.00 g = 288.0 g
Total mass = 818.4 g
The mass percentage of silicon is:
(449.4 g / 818.4 g) × 100% = 54.91%
