Calculate the percent yield for the bromination you performed. You must use significant figures correctly. You must show all work. You must use masses in the calculation, not moles.

Reaction was the bromination of stilbenes masses: trans-stilbene: .102g / pyridinium tribromide: .200g / acetic acid:1.867 / flask and mixture: 8.599g / / mass of product: .120g

Expert Solution

The reaction scheme is shown below (the scheme is taken from the internet).

Molar mass of trans-stilbene, C14H12 = (14*12.01 + 12*1.008) g/mol = 180.236 g/mol.

It is given that trans-stilbene is the limiting reactant. The yield of the product, meso stilbene dibromide is decided by the amount of the limiting reactant taken.

Mass of trans-stilbene taken = 0.102 g.

Mole(s) of trans-stilbene taken = (0.102 g)/(180.236 g/mol) = 5.65925*10-4 mole.

As per the stoichiometric equation,

1 mole trans-stilbene = 1 mole meso-stilbene dibromide.

Mole(s) of meso-stilbene dibromide formed = mole(s) of trans-stilbene taken = 5.65925*10-4 mole.

Molar mass of meso-stilbene dibromide, C14H12Br2 = (14*12.01 + 12*1.008 + 2*79.904) g/mol = 340.044 g/mol.

Theoretical yield of meso-stilbene dibromide = (moles of meso-stilbene dibromide)*(molar mass of meso-stilbene dibromide) = (5.65925*10-4 mole)*(340.044 g/mol) = 0.1914 g (ans)

Percent yield = (0.120 g)/(0.1914 g)*100 = 62.6959% ≈ 62.696% (ans).

For this question you must give all answers rounded correct to exactly 3 significant figures (instead of decimal places). Recall that leading zeros are not significant (for example 0.0011 has 4 decimal places, but only 2 significant figures). To obtain more decimal places in the numbers Matlab gives you, type "format short g" first. The article "The Incorporation of Uranium and Silver by Hydrothermally Synthesized Galena'" (Econ.
