Benzoyl chloride undergoes hydrolysis when heated with water to make benzoic acid. Reaction scheme of benzoyl chloride with water and heat over the arrow, and benzoic acid and hydrochloric acid as products. Calculate the molar mass of the reactant and product. Report molar masses to 1 decimal place.

The molar mass of benzoic acid is 122.1 g/mol

The molar mass of hydrochloric acid = 36.5 g/mol

Explanation:

Benzoyl chloride is an organic compound with the molecular formula C₆H₅COCl. It is an acyl chloride since is it an organic derivative of a carboxylic acid. Acyl chlorides have the general molecular formula, R-COCl, where R is a side chain.

The R group of benzoyl chloride is the benzyl group C₆H₅. It reacts with water (hydrolysis) to produce hydrochloric acid and benzoic acid. The equation of the reaction is given below:

C₆H₅COCl + H₂O → C₆H₅CO₂H + HCl

The molar mass of benzoic acid as well as of hydrochloric acid is calculated from the sum of the masses of the atoms of the elements present in the compound thus:

Molar mass of carbon = 12.0107 g

Molar mass of hydrogen = 1.00784 g

Molar mass of oxygen = 15.999 g

Molar mass of chlorine = 35.453 g

Molar mass of benzoic acid, C₆H₅CO₂H containing 7 moles of atoms of carbon, 6 moles of atoms of hydrogen and 2 moles of atoms of oxygen = 7 × 12.0107 + 6 × 1.00784 + 2 × 15.999 = 122.1 g

Therefore, the molar mass of benzoic acid is 122.1 g/mol

Molar mass of hydrochloric acid, HCl, containing 1 mole of atoms of hydrogen and 1 mole of atoms of chlorine = 1 × 1.00784 + 1 × 35.453 = 36.5 g

Therefore, the molar mass of hydrochloric acid = 36.5 g/mol

question: ray weighs 100 kilograms, his wrestling partner, bobby, weighs 50 kilograms. if ray moves at 4 m s , how fast will bobby have to run at him to apply an equal amount of kinetic energy?

answer: 8 m/s he needs to run twice as fast to keep up so he has some work to do

explanation:   if the mass has units of kilograms and the velocity of meters per second, the kinetic energy has units of kilograms-meters squared per second squared.
