Question

What is the balanced reaction for this equation and what is a suggestion to successfully increase the effectiveness this experiment? i. Balance the reaction equation below.Note: consider the equilibrium shown on p.41 of your lab manual. Br H Br3 Br meso-stibene E-stilbene pyridinium dibromide tribromide 2. Complete the following table, using your actual measured amounts. Greyed-out cells do not need to be filled. mp bp MW vol. mass mmol equiv 180.25 E-stilbene 125 Log acetic acid (glacial) 319.82 pyridinium tribromide 236- 340.05 meso-stilbene dibromide 237

Explanation / Answer

1 molecule of Pyridinium tribromide produces 1 molecule Br-Br which in turn reacts with 1 molecule of E-stilbene.

So, the balanced reaction is :

Pyridinium tribromide + E-stilbene -------> meso-stilbene

Instead of pyridinium tribromide, liquid Bromine can be used which causes a fast release of Br2 ans as a result a fast reaction. But liquid Bromine cause severe burning to eye and skin.
