Initial mass of triphenyl methanol in g = 0.220g Initial volume of 33% HBr solution in ml = 0.60 ml Find mas of triphenyl bromide in g = 240 g

0.792g of triphenyl bromide are produced.

Explanation:

The reaction of triphenyl methanol with HBr is:

triphenyl methanol + HBr → Triphenyl bromide.

Reaction (1:1), 1 mole of HBr reacts per mole of triphenyl methanol.

To know the mass of triphenyl bromide assuming a theoretical yield (Yield 100%) we need to find first limiting reactant:

Moles triphenyl methanol (Molar mass: 260.33g/mol) =

0.220g × (1mol / 260.33g) = 8.45x10⁻³ moles Triphenyl methanol

Moles HBr (Molar mass: 80.91g/mol; 33%=33g HBr/100mL) =

0.60mL ₓ (33g / 100mL) ₓ (1mol / 80.91g) = 2.45x10⁻³ moles HBr

As amount of moles of HBr is lower than moles of triphenyl methanol, HBr is limiting reactant.

As HBr is limiting reactant, moles produced of triphenyl bromide = moles HBr = 2.45x10⁻³ moles

As molar mass of triphenyl bromide is 323.2g/mol, mass of triphenyl bromide is:

2.45x10⁻³ moles × (323.2g / mol) =

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.

the correct answer to this question is 2
