Answer:

Here's what I get  

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.

What is the pH of a KOH solution that has [H ] = 1. 87 × 10–13 M? What is the pOH of a KOH solution that has [OH− ] = 5. 81 × 10
vlada-n [284]

pH is the hydrogen ion concentration and pOH is the hydroxide ion concentration in the solution. pH KOH is 12.73, pOH KOH is 2.24 and pH NaCl is 7.

<h3>What are pH and pOH?</h3>

pH is the negative log of the hydrogen ion concentration and pOH is the negative log of the hydroxide ion concentration.

The relation between the pH and pOH can be given as, \rm pOH = 14 - pH

The pH of KOH can be calculated by the formula,

\rm pH = \rm -log [H^{+}]

In the first case, the concentration of the KOH is 1. 87 \times  10^{-13}\;\rm  M

Substituting values in the equation:

\begin{aligned} \rm pH &= \rm -log [H^{+}]\\\\&= \rm -log [1. 87 \times  10^{-13}\;\rm  M ]\\\\&= 12.73\end{aligned}

Hence, the pH of KOH is 12.73.

<u />

pOH of KOH can be calculated by the formula,

\rm pOH = \rm -log [OH^{-}]

The hydroxide concentration of the KOH solution is 5. 81 \times 10^{-3}\;\rm  M

Substituting value in the equation:

\begin{aligned} \rm pOH &= \rm -log [OH^{-}]\\\\&= \rm -log [5. 81 \times 10^{-3}\;\rm  M ]\\\\&= 2.24 \end{aligned}

Hence, the pOH of KOH is 2.24

<u />

The pH of NaCl can be calculated by the formula,

\rm pH = \rm -log [H^{+}]

In the third case, the concentration of the NaCl is 1. 00\times 10^{-7}\;\rm  M

Substituting values in the equation:

\begin{aligned} \rm pH &= \rm -log [H^{+}]\\\\&= \rm -log [1. 00 \times  10^{-7}\;\rm  M ]\\\\&= 7 \end{aligned}

Hence, the pH of KOH is 7.0.

Therefore, KOH is basic and NaCl is approximately neutral.

Indicators change color in acids or bases. What are the colors of the pH balance
lozanna [386]

Answer:

}

the color of the pH balance is dark blue

Explanation:

A pH indicator corresponds to a substance that measures the pH of the solution in question. in the case of neutral substance the color that the solution takes is dark blue, if it is acidic it turns pink or red and basic of a green tone. Some examples of indicators: phenolphthalein, bromophenol blue, methyl red, among others.

Dioxane, C4H8O2, has an enthalpy of fusion of 145.8 J g–1 and its melting point temperature is 11.0 °C. How much heat is require
kumpel [21]

Answer:

20703.6J

Explanation:

Quantity of heat (Q) = mass of dioxane × enthalpy of fusion

Mass of dioxane = 142g

Enthalpy of fusion of dioxane = 145.8J/g

Q = 142g × 145.8J/g = 20703.6J
