Answer:

Explanation:

Oxidation number of Na = 1+ There are two of them, so it is 2*1 = 2

Oxidation number of O = 2- There are 6 of them so 6 * 2- = -12

There are 4 S's so the oxidation number is 4*S

Now set up a small equation

2 + 4s - 12 = 0

And solve.

2 - 12 + 4s =0

-10 + 4s = 0

4s = 10

4s/4 =10/4

s = 2.5

A student isolated 7.2 g of 1-bromobutane reacting equimolar amounts of 1-butanol (10 ml) and NaBr (11.1 g) in the presence of s

Alla [95]

Answer: The percent yield of the 1-bromobutane is 48.65 %

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For NaBr:

Given mass of NaBr = 11.1 g

Molar mass of NaBr = 103 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of NaBr}=\frac{11.1g}{103g/mol}=0.108mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of 1-butanol and NaBr is:

$\text{1-butanol + NaBr}\rightarrow \text{1-bromobutane}$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction

1 mole of NaBr produces 1 mole of 1-bromobutane

So, 0.108 moles of NaBr will produce = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.108=0.108$ moles of 1-bromobutane

Now, calculating the mass of 1-bromobutane from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of 1-bromobutane = 137 g/mol

Moles of 1-bromobutane = 0.108 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.108mol=\frac{\text{Mass of 1-bromobutane}}{137g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of 1-bromobutane}=(0.108mol\times 137g/mol)=14.80g$

To calculate the percentage yield of 1-bromobutane, we use the equation:

$\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

Experimental yield of 1-bromobutane = 7.2 g

Theoretical yield of 1-bromobutane = 14.80 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\%\text{ yield of 1-bromobutane}=\frac{7.2g}{14.80g}\times 100\\\\\% \text{yield of 1-bromobutane}=48.65\%$

Hence, the percent yield of the 1-bromobutane is 48.65 %

How to calculate delta S surroundings? calculate Delta S(surr) at the indicated temperature for a reaction having each of the fo

astraxan [27]

You can use the equation ΔS(surr)=q(surr)/T or ΔS(surr)=-q(rxn)/T.
the two equations are equal since we know that the energy the system (reactoin) puts out just goes into the surroundings.
(In other words q(surr)=-q(rxn))

Using the equation, ΔS(surr)=-(-283kJ/298K)=0.9497kJ/K or 949.7J/K

This answer makes sense since the reaction is exothermic which means it released energy into the system which usually causes the entropy to increase.

I hope that helps.

Draw the curved arrow mechanism for the reaction between (2S,3S)-3,5-dimethylhexan-2-ol and PCl3. Note the specific instructions

Vikki [24]

Answer:

(2R,3S)-2-chloro-3,5-dimethylhexane

Explanation:

As first step we have the attack of the OH group to the P atom in the PCl3 and one of the Cl atoms would leave. Then we will have a rearrangement to produce a double bond with the oyxgen on the OH. Finally the Cl produced will attack the carbon in a Sn2 substitution reaction to produce the halide with an opposite configuration.
