Question


this is the data. calculate how many moles of each reactant were used (e.g. p-aminophenol and acetic anhydride and acetaminophen, potassium carbonate and iodoethane)use the proper significant figures. which one is limiting reagent

Paminophenol 1.500 g Water 25.00 ml Drops phosphoric acid 20 Acetaminophen for synthesis of Phenacetin 0.650 g Powder Anhydrous KPO3 2-Butanone 8.00 ml lodoethane 0.500 ml 5% NaOH 20.00 ml Weight of filter paper acetaminophen 1.556 g Weight of filter paper 0.450 g Mass of acetaminophen that was produced 1.106 g M.P. of acetaminophen 1 3 deg. Celsius Weight of Erlenmeyer flask 39.891 g Weight of Erlenmeyer phenacetin -39.997 g M.P. of Phenacetin 133.1 34.9 deg. Celsius

Explanation / Answer

The info required to determine the moles of acetic anhydride, potassium carbonate is inadequate as their wts are not given.

p-Aminophenol - 109 [molwt], 1.5 g - wt, moles - 0.0138

acetaminophen - 151 [mol wt], 0.65 g-wt, moles - 0.0043 [limiting reactant]

iodomethane - 156 [mol wt], 0.50 ml , 0.975 g-wt, moles - 0.0063
