What volume, in mL, of carbon dioxide gas is produced at STP by the decomposition of 0.242 g calcium carbonate (the products are

damaskus [11]

Answer:

54.21 mL.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole in 0.242 g calcium carbonate, CaCO3.

This is illustrated below:

Mass of CaCO3 = 0.242 g

Molar mass of CaCO3 = 40 + 12 +(16x3) = 40+ 12 + 48 = 100 g/mol

Mole of CaCO3 =?

Mole = mass /Molar mass

Mole of CaCO3 = 0.242/100

Mole of CaCO3 = 2.42×10¯³ mole.

Next, we shall write the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

CaCO3 —> CaO + CO2

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of CaCO3 decomposed to produce 1 mole CaO and 1 mole of CO2.

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of CO2 produced from the reaction.

This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of CaCO3 decomposed to produce 1 mole of CO2.

Therefore,

2.42×10¯³ mole of CaCO3 will also decompose to produce 2.42×10¯³ mole of CO2.

Therefore, 2.42×10¯³ mole of CO2 were obtained from the reaction.

Finally, we shall determine volume occupied by 2.42×10¯³ mole of CO2.

This can be obtained as follow:

1 mole of CO2 occupies 22400 mL at STP.

Therefore, 2.42×10¯³ mole of CO2 will occupy = 2.42×10¯³ x 22400 = 54.21 mL

Therefore, 54.21 mL of CO2 were obtained from the reaction.

Products: 1-methylcyclohexene, 3-methylcyclohexene, methylenecyclohexane

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The reaction that we are considering here is quite a knotty reaction. It is difficult to decide if the mechanism is actually E1 or E2 since both are equally probable based on the mass of scientific evidence regarding this reaction. However, we can easily assume that the methylenecyclohexane was formed by an E1 mechanism.

Looking at the products, one could convincingly assert that the reaction leading to the formation of the two main products proceeds via an E1 mechanism with the formation of a carbocation intermediate as has been shown in mechanism attached to this answer. Possible rearrangement of the carbocation yields the 3-methylcyclohexene product.
