Question

if you perform the substitution reaction we are doing in the next lab where 2-methyl-2-propanol reacts with 12M HCl to yield 2-chloro-2-methylpropane and water, and you measure out 18.5 millileters of the alcohol, how many moles of the alcohol is this? if you perform the substitution reaction we are doing in the next lab where 2-methyl-2-propanol reacts with 12M HCl to yield 2-chloro-2-methylpropane and water, and you measure out 18.5 millileters of the alcohol, how many moles of the alcohol is this? if you perform the substitution reaction we are doing in the next lab where 2-methyl-2-propanol reacts with 12M HCl to yield 2-chloro-2-methylpropane and water, and you measure out 18.5 millileters of the alcohol, how many moles of the alcohol is this?

Explanation / Answer

if you perform the substitution reaction we are doing in the next lab where 2-methyl-2-propanol reacts with 12M HCl to yield 2-chloro-2-methylpropane and water, and you measure out 18.5 millileters of the alcohol, how many moles of the alcohol.

we are measureing 18.5 mL of alcohol

Molecualr wt of alcohol = 74g

The density of given alcohol = 0.755 g / mL

So gram of alcohol in 18.5 mL = volume X density = 18.5 X 0755 = 13.96 g

so moles of alcohol = mass / mol wt = 13.96 / 74 = 0.188 moles
