b) What is the mass of excess reagent, in grams?

1. Write out the balanced equation for the oxidation of
hydrobromic acid by hydrogen peroxide.
2. How many stereoisomers of stilbene dibromide can exist?
3. A possible definition of a meso compound is: “while possessing 2
or more assignable
stereocenters, a meso compound is superimposable (identical to) its
mirror image in at least
one conformation”. In other words, it is identical to its would-be
enantiomer except for the fact
that the molecule contains… what? What physical characteristic
arises in meso compounds
that results in the above definition?
4. Let us assume a cut-and-dry, black-and-white case that the
mechanism does only one of 2
things when each molecule of product is produced: (1) goes entirely
bromonium-ion/antiaddition;
or (2) goes through a fully-fledged planar carbocation intermediate
with absolutely
no selectivity.
a. If you were to find by quantitative analysis that exactly 50% of
your product mixture
was the meso stilbene dibromide and the other 50% was racemic
stilbene dibromide,
then is mechanism case (1) or (2) favored? If so, qualitatively, by
how much?
b. Think again. Question (a) is a mind-bender. I want to know what
you originally /
immediately thought, and what you eventually came to. If they are
not different, you
are either a genius or need to think more. Write out all the
possibilities…
c. If you find, qualitatively, that >95% of the product is meso,
what does this imply about
the mechanism? What percent of the time does the mechanism go by
scenario (1)…
greater than what number?
5. Describe a more likely blend of mechanisms that could have
produced your estimated product

The oxidation of copper(I) oxide, Cu2O(s), to copper(II) oxide, CuO(s), is an exothermic process.
2Cu2O + O2 = 4CuO
The change in enthalpy upon reaction of 85.49 g of Cu2O(s) is -87.23 kJ. Calculate the work, w, and energy change, ΔUrxn, when 85.49 g of Cu2O(s) is oxidized at a constant pressure of 1.00 bar and a constant temperature of 25 °C.
Answer in Kg.
Start by converting the mass of Cu2O that reacts (85.49 g) to the number of moles of O2 gas consumed in the reaction. Then use the ideal gas law to determine the change in volume (ΔV) during this reaction process, where Δngas is the actual amount of gas consumed. Values for R can be found at this link.
