We are using 0.75 g of 1,2-dibromo-1,2-diphenylethane adn reacting with 0.75g KOH and 5 mL triethylene glycol to produce diphenyl acetylene.
What is the theoretical yield?
(C6H5)2 C2H2Br2 + KOH ----------------> (C6H5)2 C2
general 340g 178.22g
Given 0.75g 0.75g 0
Here triethylene glycol is a solvent and KOH is excess reagent
340g 1,2-dibromo-1,2-diphenylethane can from 178.22g diphenyl acetylene.
0.75g 1,2-dibromo-1,2-diphenylethane can from 178.22*0.75/340=0.3931g diphenyl acetylene.
