Question

Say you have:
CH3CH2CH2CH2OH + HBR=== CH3CH2CH2CH2BR + H20

Say your given quantities of 18.5 g of the first compound.

What is the molecular weight and the number of moles?

And how do you find the theorectical yield?

Answer 1

You find the molecular weight by just adding up the atomic masses of each of the atoms in the compounds. To find the numbr of moles, divide the mass of the compound by its molecular weight. In order to calculate the theoretical yield, you divide the mass of the starting compound by its molecular weight and multiply that by the molecular weight of the product.
