A student isolated 7.2 g of 1-bromobutane reacting equimolar amounts of 1-butanol (10 ml) and NaBr (11.1 g) in the presence of sulfuric acid. The yield of the reaction is Select one: a. 95 % b. 48 % c. 84% d. 72 %

The percent yield of the 1-bromobutane is 48.65 %

Explanation:

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

    .....(1)

Given mass of NaBr = 11.1 g

Molar mass of NaBr = 103 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

The chemical equation for the reaction of 1-butanol and NaBr is:

By Stoichiometry of the reaction

1 mole of NaBr produces 1 mole of 1-bromobutane

So, 0.108 moles of NaBr will produce = moles of 1-bromobutane

Molar mass of 1-bromobutane = 137 g/mol

Moles of 1-bromobutane = 0.108 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

Experimental yield of 1-bromobutane = 7.2 g

Theoretical yield of 1-bromobutane = 14.80 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the percent yield of the 1-bromobutane is 48.65 %

warm front forms when a moist, warm air mass slides up and over a cold air mass. as the warm air mass rises, it condenses into a broad area of clouds. a warm front brings gentle rain or light snow, followed by warmer, milder weather.

hope i !

they are all solids.
