Question

The following is the given information that will be used to complete the experiment-

-Add how many grams (0.28 mmol) of curcumin

-Add how mant grams (x mmol, 0.7 eq) of 10 % Pd

-Add how many mL (x mmol, 75 eq) of cyclohexene?

1. What is the calculation for the amount of 10% Pd/C to add?

2. What is the calculation for the amount of cyclohexene to add?

3. What is the calculation for the theoretical yield of tetrahydrocurcumin?

4. How will you have an idea of whether or not the hydrogenation was successful or not?

1. Amount of 10% pd (0.7eq)= 1mole = one equivalent

0.7equialents =0.7 moles=700mmoles

weight of pd = 700mmoles X 106.42 = 74.49g

for 10% pd= 74.49*10/100= 7.449g

2. amount of cyclohexene = 75000mmoles x82.143

= 6160g

3 theroetical yield = mol wt of tetra hydro cucurmin * moles of limiting reagent

= 370*0.00028

= 0.1036g

4. yes it is sucessful
