Answer:

CH4 + Cl2 → CH3-Cl + HCl

2CH3-Cl +2Na → C2H6

CH3-CH2-OH ---(conc. H2SO4)----> CH2=CH2 + H2O

Explanation:

1. Conversion of methane to ethane

Step 1 - Treat methane with chlorine gas presence of ultraviolet light

CH4 + Cl2 → CH3-Cl + HCl

Step 2 - Treat chloromethane formed in step 1 with the sodium metal and dry ether (Wrutz synthesis)

2CH3-Cl +2Na → C2H6

2. On treating ethanol with excess of concentrated sulfuric acid, it converts into ethene

CH3-CH2-OH ---(conc. H2SO4)----> CH2=CH2 + H2O

The electron dot structure for CI is

finlep [7]

The correct option is C.
A Lewis dot diagram is a representation of the valence electron of an atom, which uses dot around the symbol of the atom. Chlorine has seven electrons in its outermost shell, these seven electrons are arranged in form of dot around the atom of chlorine. If you count the number of dot given in option C, you will notice that they are seven.

Aspirin sun thesis Green Chemistry and Assime the aspirin is prepared by the following reaction and that 10.09. of salicylic aci

klemol [59]

Answer: The percentage yield of aspirin is 38.02 %.

Explanation:

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

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

For salicylic acid:

Given mass of salicylic acid $(C_7H_6O_3)$ = 10.09 g

Molar mass of salicylic acid $(C_7H_6O_3)$ = 138.12 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of salicylic acid}=\frac{10.09g}{138.12g/mol}=0.0730mol$

The chemical equation for the formation of aspirin follows:

$C_7H_6O_3+C_4H_6O_3\rightarrow C_9H_8O_4+CH_3COOH$

As, acetic anhydride is present in excess. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, salicylic acid is a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of products.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of salicylic acid produces 1 mole of aspirin.

So, 0.0730 moles of salicylic acid will produce = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.0730=0.0730mol$ of aspirin

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

Molar mass of aspirin = 180.16 g/mol

Moles of aspirin = 0.073 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.073mol=\frac{\text{Mass of aspirin}}{180.16g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of aspirin}=13.15g$

To calculate the percentage yield of aspirin, we use the equation:

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

Experimental yield of aspirin = 5.0 g

Theoretical yield of aspirin = 13.15 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\%\text{ yield of aspirin}=\frac{5.0g}{13.15g}\times 100\\\\\% \text{yield of aspirin}=38.02\%$

Hence, the percent yield of aspirin is 38.01 %.

_______ is the classic structural formula for all the addictive narcotics

oee [108]

The answer to this statement is codein. Codein, or 3-Methylmorphine by its IUPAC name, is an opiate used as pain reliever and suppressor of coughs. Its structural formula is shown in the picture. The patient's dosage of these narcotics should be strictly prescribed by the doctor. When patients take this, they feel euphoria, hence, they tend to crave for that feeling once it's gone. Too much dosage of this drug would lead to addiction. Examples of drugs with this structural formula are Cotabflu, Nalex AC, T-Koff and Pediatuss.

When 551. mg of a certain molecular compound X are dissolved in 100 g of benzonitrile (CH,CN), the freezing point of the solutio

arsen [322]

Answer:

1.12g/mol

Explanation:

The freezing point depression of a solvent for the addition of a solute follows the equation:

ΔT = Kf*m*i

Where ΔT is change in temperature (Benzonitrile freezing point: -12.82°C; Freezing point solution: 13.4°C)

ΔT = 13.4°C - (-12.82) = 26.22°C

m is molality of the solution

Kf is freezing point depression constant of benzonitrile (5.35°Ckgmol⁻¹)

And i is Van't Hoff factor (1 for all solutes in benzonitrile)

Replacing:

26.22°C = 5.35°Ckgmol⁻¹*m*1

4.90mol/kg = molality of the compound X

As the mass of the solvent is 100g = 0.100kg:

4.9mol/kg * 0.100kg = 0.490moles

There are 0.490 moles of X in 551mg = 0.551g, the molar mass (Ratio of grams and moles) is:

0.551g / 0.490mol

= 1.12g/mol

This result has no sense but is the result by using the freezing point of the solution = 13.4°C. Has more sense a value of -13.4°C.
