Percent yield of alkyl halide (Show all calculations for limiting reactant, theoretical yield and percent yield.)
Given:
R-CH2OH +NaBr +H2SO4---------> R-CH2BR +H2O+ NaHSO4
- started with - unkown alcohol: 3-methyl-1-butanol (18.996 g) started with,
-NaBr ( 10.509g) used
-H2SO4 (25 mL of 8.7M)
-My alkyl halide is 1-bromo-3- methylbutane
-H2O
-NaHSO4
Note! I ended with 1.746g of the alkyl halide is 1-bromo-3- methylbutane
Given Reaction :
R-CH2OH +NaBr +H2SO4---------> R-CH2BR +H2O+ NaHSO4
alcohol (Reactant ) : 3 - methyl - I - butanol ( 18.996 g )
NaBr : 10.509 g
H2So4 : 25 mL of 8.7 M
Product alkylhalide : I - bromo - 3 - methylbutane ( 90 + 1.746 g )
Write a balanced equation for this rreaction :
We know mass of the rreactants calculate first moles of the reactants.
(i) moles of 3 - methyl - I - butanol : weight = 18.996 g
molecular weight = 88.1482 g / mol
moles = weight / molecular weight =
next , find the limiting reagent km stoichiometric ratio & mole ratio method
Actual molar ratio = moles of alcohol / moles of NaBr = 0.2155 / 0.1021 = 2.11 mol alcohol / 1 mol NaBr
