Explanation / Answer

a.

moles of propane present before the reaction = 5.0 / 44.1 = 0.113 mole


b.

mass of Br2 = density * volume = 3.10 * 10 = 31.0 g


mole of Br2 = 31.0/159.8 = 0.194 mol


c.

each propane molecule need two molecules of bromine.

mole of Br2 required for 0.113 mol propae = 0.113 * 2 = 0.226 mol


as mole of Br2 is present in less than required amount therefore bromine is limiting reagent.



d.

mole of excess propane = 0.113 - 0.194/2 = 0.016 mol


mass of excess reactant = 0.016*44.1 = 0.706 g


e.

theoretical yield = 0.194/2 * 201.9 = 19.58 g


f.

mass of 2,2 dibrompropane = density * volume = 1.78 * 15.58 = 27.7 g


mole of 2,2 dibrompropane = 15.58/201.9 = 0.0772 mol



mmol of HCL = 3.0 * 10^-6 * 12 *1000 = 0.036 mmol
