Answer:

The mechanism is E1 and the product is cyclohexene

Explanation:

Attached to this answer is an image of the reaction mechanism of the reaction between cyclohexanol and concentrated sulfuric acid/phosphoric acid. The acid (H3O^+) acts as catalyst.

We can see that the first step in the mechanism is the protonation of the -OH group of the alcohol. This is followed by loss of water molecule which is a good leaving group.

The water now acts as a Lewis base by abstracting a proton from the substrate, forming cyclohexene and regenerating the acid catalyst.

Lead(II) oxide from an ore can be reduced to elemental lead by heating in a furnace with carbon. Calculate the expected yield of

Lelu [443]

Answer:

53kg is the expected yield of lead

Explanation:

Firstly, in order to solve this question, we need to write the equation of reaction correctly. This is as follows:

PbO(s) + C(s) ---> Pb(l) + CO(g)

We proceed from here. We should get the limiting reactant but this can only be obtained by getting the number of moles of each reactant present.

The formula to use across all boards is that the number of moles is the mass of each of the reactant divided by the molar mass of each of the reactant.

For PBO, mass is 57kg = 57000g

Molar mass of PBO = 223.20g/mol

The number of moles is thus 57,000/223.2 = 255.37 moles

For carbon, mass is also 57kg = 57000g

Molar mass is 12g/mol

Number of moles of carbon = 57000/12 = 4750 moles

From the number of moles, we can see that the number of moles of Carbon is greater than that of PbO. This means that PbO is the limiting reagent.

Hence we use it to calculate percentage yield.

The number of moles of lead formed is the same of number of moles of lead oxide = 255.37 since we have mole ratio of 1 to 1

The molar mass of lead is 207.20g/mol

The mass of lead formed is = moles of lead formed * molar mass of lead = 207.20 * 255.37 = 52,912g which is approximately 53kg

Hence the expected yield is 53kg

Na2CrO4 + PbCL2<br> Formula in double replacement

Marta_Voda [28]

Na₂CrO₄ + PbCl₂ → PbCrO₄ + 2 NaCl

<u>Explanation:</u>

In a double displacement reaction, the reactants which are involved in the reaction exchanging their ions thereby produces 2 new compounds. Here sodium chromate and lead chloride are undergoing double displacement reaction, the ions exchanges their position there by forming sodium chloride and lead chromate. So the double displacement reaction is given as,

Na₂CrO₄ + PbCl₂ → PbCrO₄ + 2 NaCl
