Answer:

an increase in 1-butene was observed when t-butoxide was used

Explanation:

When a base reacts with an alkyl halide, an elimination product is formed. This reaction is an E2 reaction.

Here we are to compare the reaction of two different bases with one substrate; 2-bromobutane. Both reactions occur by the E2 mechanism but follow different transition states due to the size of the base.

The Saytzeff product, 2-butene, is obtained when the methoxide is used while the non Saytzeff product, 1-butene, is obtained when t-butoxide is used.

The Saytzeff rule is reliable in predicting the major products of simple elimination reactions of alkyl halides given the fact that a small/strong bases is used for the elimination reaction. Therefore hydroxide, methoxide and ethoxide bases give similar results for the same alkyl halide substrate. Bulky bases such as tert-butoxide tend to yield a higher percentage of the non Saytzeff product and this is usually attributed to steric hindrance.

If 1.02 g of nickel reacted with 750. mL of 0.112 M hydrobromic acid, how much of each will be present at the end of the reactio
kati45 [8]

Answer:

35.1% is percent yield

Explanation:

<em>Full question: Assume no volume change.  If you formed 0.0910 atm of gas, what is the percent yield?</em>

<em />

The reaction that is occurring is:

Ni + 3HBr → NiBr₃ + 3/2H₂(g)

First, we will determine moles of Ni and HBr to determine limiting reactant and theoretical yield

Using ideal gas law, we can determine the moles of hydrogen formed. Thus, we can find percent yield:

<em>Moles Ni (Molar mass: 58.69g/mol):</em>

1.02g * (1mol / 58.69g) = 0.01738moles Ni

<em>Moles HBr:</em>

0.750L * (0.112mol/L) = 0.084 moles of HBr.

For a complete reaction of the 0.084 moles of HBr you need:

0.084mol HBr * (1 mole Ni / 3 moles HBr) = 0.028 moles of Ni.

As there are just 0.01738 moles of Ni, the Ni is limiting reactant. Assuming a theoretical yield, moles of H₂ produced are:

0.01738moles Ni * (3/2 H₂ / 1 mol Ni) = 0.02607 moles H₂

Now, moles of H₂ produced are:

PV = nRT

PV/RT = n

<em>Where P is pressure (0.0910atm)</em>

<em>V is volume (2.50L)</em>

<em>R is gas constant (0.082atmL/molK)</em>

<em>T is absolute temperature in Kelvin (30°C + 273.15 = 303.15K)</em>

<em>And n are moles</em>

PV/RT = n

0.0910atm*2.50L/0.082atmL/molK*303.15K = n

0.00915 moles = n

<em />

And percent yield (Produced moles / Theoretical moles * 100) is:

0.00915 moles / 0.02607moles =

<h3>35.1% is percent yield</h3>

The process in which an organic acid and an alcohol react to form an ester and water is known as esterification. Ethyl butanoate
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

697 g

Explanation:

Ethanol (C₂H₅OH) and butanoic acid (C₃H₇COOH) react to form ethyl butanoate (C₃H₇COOC₂H₅) and water (H₂O).

C₂H₅OH + C₃H₇COOH → C₃H₇COOC₂H₅ + H₂O

The molar ratio of C₂H₅OH to C₃H₇COOC₂H₅ is 1:1. The moles of C₃H₇COOC₂H₅ produced from 6.00 moles of C₂H₅OH are:

6.00 mol C₂H₅OH × (1 mol C₃H₇COOC₂H₅/1 mol C₂H₅OH) = 6.00 mol C₃H₇COOC₂H₅

The molar mass of C₃H₇COOC₂H₅ is 116.16 g/mol. The mass corresponding to 6.00 mol is:

6.00 mol × (116.16 g/mol) = 697 g
