The molar mass of carbon is 12, hydrogen is 1, and nitrogen is 14, hence the ratio are:

 

C = 38.65 / 12 = 3.22

H = 16.25 / 1 = 16.25

N = 45.09 / 14 = 3.22

 

Divide the three by the lowest ratio which is 3.22:

 

C = 3.22 / 3.22 = 1

H = 16.25 / 3.22 = 5

N = 3.22 / 3.22 = 1

 

So the empirical formula is:

CHN

By what mechanism does cyclohexanol react when treated in sulfuric acid and what compound results?A) E 1; methoxycyclohexane B)
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

E 1: cyclohexene

Explanation:

This reaction is an example of the dehydration of cyclic alcohols. The reaction proceeds in the following steps;

1) The first step of the process is the protonation of the cyclohexanol by the acid. This now yields H2O^+ attached to the cyclohexane ring.

2) the water molecule, which a good leaving group now leaves yielding a carbocation. This now leaves a cyclohexane carbocation which is highly reactive.

3) A water molecule now abstracts a proton from the carbon adjacent to the carbocation leading to the formation of cyclohexene and the regeneration of the acid catalyst. This is an E1 mechanism because it proceeds via a carbocation intermediate and not a concerted transition state, hence the answer.

La aspirina se prepara haciendo reaccionar ácido salicílico con exceso de anhídrido etanoico. En un experimento, 50.05 g de ácid
Tanya [424]

La aspirina se prepara haciendo reaccionar ácido salicílico con exceso de anhídrido etanoico. En un experimento, 50.05 g de ácido salicílico se convirtieron en 55.45 g de aspirina. ¿Cuál fue el porcentaje de rendimiento?

<em>In English:</em>

Aspirin is prepared by reacting salicylic acid with excess ethanoic anhydride. In one experiment, 50.05 g of salicylic acid was converted to 55.45 g of aspirin. What was the yield percentage?

Answer:

el rendimiento porcentual para la cantidad dada de ácido salicílico es 84.99 %

<em>In English:</em>

<em>the percent yield for the given amount of salicylic acid is </em><em>84.99%</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

La ecuación química equilibrada para la reacción se puede escribir como:

C₇H₆O₃ + C₄H₆O₃    →    C₉H₈O₄ + HC₂H₃O₂

Para la reacción mostrada arriba; El reactivo limitante de la reacción es el ácido salicílico. Ahora; calcular el porcentaje de rendimiento; se espera que primero determinemos el rendimiento teórico de la reacción.

Entonces; la fórmula para calcular el porcentaje de rendimiento: \mathbf {= \frac{actual \ yield }{theoretical \ yield } *100 }  

El rendimiento teórico se determina de la siguiente manera:

50.05 g * 1 mol / 138.21 g / mol de C₇H₆O₃ * 1 mol de C₉H₈O₄ / 1 mol de C₇H₆O₃ * 180.157 g / mol de C₉H₈O₄ = 65.24 g de C₉H₈O₄

Porcentaje de rendimiento \mathbf {= \frac{55.45 }{65.24 } *100 }

Porcentaje de rendimiento = 84.99%

Por lo tanto, el porcentaje de rendimiento para la cantidad dada de ácido salicílico es 84.99%

<em>In English:</em>

<em>The balanced chemical eqaution for the reaction can be written as:</em>

<em>C₇H₆O₃ + C₄H₆O₃    →    C₉H₈O₄ + HC₂H₃O₂</em>

<em>For the reaction shown above;  The limiting reactant from the reaction is  salicylic acid. Now; to calculate the percentage yield ; we are expected to first determine the theoretical yield of the reaction. </em>

<em>So; the formula for calculating the percentage yield </em>\mathbf {= \frac{actual \ yield }{theoretical \ yield } *100 }<em>  </em>

<em />

<em>The theoretical yield is determined as follows:</em>

<em>50.05 g * 1 mol/ 138.21 g/mol of C₇H₆O₃ * 1 mol of C₉H₈O₄/ 1 mol of C₇H₆O₃ * 180.157 g/mol of C₉H₈O₄ = 65.24 g of C₉H₈O₄ is produced</em>

<em />

<em>Percentage yield </em>\mathbf {= \frac{55.45 }{65.24 } *100 }<em />

<em>Percentage yield = 84.99%</em>

<em />

<em>Thus, the percent yield for the given amount of salicylic acid is </em><em>84.99%</em>
