Answer:

530.835 g

Explanation:

First we convert 244 g of benzoic acid (C₇H₆O₂) to moles, using its molar mass:

  • 244 g benzoic acid ÷ 122.12 g/mol = 2.00 moles benzoic acid

Theoretically,<em> one mol of ethyl benzene would produce one mol of benzoic acid</em>. But the experimental yield tells us that one mol of ethyl benzene will produce only 0.4 moles of benzoic acid.

With the above information in mind we convert 2.00 moles of benzoic acid into moles of ethyl benzene:

  • 2.00 moles benzoic acid * \frac{1molEthylBenzene}{0.4molBenzoicAcid} = 5.00 moles ethyl benzene

Finally we <u>convert moles of ethyl benzene </u>(C₈H₁₀)<u> into grams</u>, using its <em>molar mass</em>:

  • 5.00 moles ethyl benzene * 106.167 g/mol = 530.835 g ethyl benzene

(f) Which of the following alkenes is the major product when 2-bromo-2-methylpentane is treated with sodium ethoxide in ethanol?
belka [17]

Answer:

D) 2-methylpent-2-ene

Explanation:

This is an elimination reaction of Halogenoalkane. 2-bromo-2-methylpentane when is heated with NaOH or NaOC2O5( sodium ethoxide) in ethanol will form alkene rather than alcohol.

2-methylpent-1-ene is minor product since double bond form with secondary Carbon rather than primary Carbon.

Which area of the periodic table has the highest electronegatvities
krok68 [10]

The area where the periodic table has the highest electronegativity are Groups 1 and Groups 7 because they are close on giving away an electron and the other is close to becoming stable.

Can anyone teach me what is criss cross method in chemistry​
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

In the criss-cross method, the numerical value of the ion charge of the two atoms are crossed over, which becomes the subscript of the other ion. Using this technique, we will write the chemical formula of the given compounds.

Criss cross the absolute values to give Al2O3. To find the formula for magnesium oxide:- The oxidation number of Mg is +2 and oxygen is -2. Criss cross the absolute values to give Mg2O2In this example there is a common factor of 2 so divide by 2 to give MgO.
