C₄H₉OH + HBr = C₄H₉Br + H2O
Δmole of alcohol gives 1 mole of bromobutanol
HBr is in excess, so the yield of the product is limited by the alcohol
Wt. of 1 butanol = 18
Molar mass of the butanol = 74.12 g/mole
Moles of the alcohol = 1/74.12 = 0.01349 moles
So, moles of bromobutane = 0.01349 moles
Molar mass of C₄H₉Br = 137.018 g/moles
So, theoretical mass of bromobutane is = 0.01349 × 137.0.18
= 1.85 g
Answer:
Pentan-2-ol
Explanation:
On this reaction, we have a <u>Grignard reagent</u> (ethylmagnesium bromide), therefore we will have the production of a <u>carbanion</u> (step 1). Then this carbanion can <u>attack the least substituted carbon</u> in the epoxide in this case carbon 1 (step 2). In this step, the epoxide is open and a negative charge is generated in the oxygen. The next step, is the <u>treatment with aqueous acid</u>, when we add acid the <u>hydronium ion</u> () would be produced, so in the reaction mechanism, we can put the hydronium ion. This ion would be <u>attacked by the negative charge</u> produced in the second step to produce the final molecule: <u>"Pentan-2-ol".</u>
See figure 1
I hope it helps!
For an approximate result, multiply the volume value by 3.785
Answer ≈ 56.7812
