5.0 mL of 1-butanol was mixed with 10 mL of HCl. The reaction was put on an ice bath and 4 mL of concentrated sulfuric acid was added. This mixture was refluxed for 45 min and then the product was co-distilled with water using a simple distillation apparatus. Water and the product are immiscible. 1-butanol has a molar mass of 74.12 g/mol, a density of 0.810 g/mL, and a boiling point of 118 C. The product has a molar mass of 92.57 g/mol, a density of 0.880 g/mL, and a boiling point of 78 C. What is the nucleophile in this reaction? What is the role of H2SO4 in this reaction? Calculate the theoretical yield for this reaction. Give your answer in grams. Select the following statements that can be said about the reaction shown.
Emmett, a sophomore chemistry major, was trying to separate an unknown mixture. His instructor told him that there was a carboxylic acid, phenol, and amine present in the mixture. He dissolved 3 g of the unknown in 10 ml of t-butyl methyl ether. He then added 10 ml of 3M sodium hydroxide to the mixture. He used a separatory funnel to separate the layers and collected the aqueous layer in an Erlenmeyer flask labeled fraction 1. Then he added 10 ml of 1.5M sodium bicarbonate to the remaining ether. He separated the layers, and collected the aqueous layer in an Erlenmeyer flask labeled fraction 2. Finally he added 10 ml of 1.5 M hydrochloric acid to the ether, and separated the aqueous later in an Erlenmeyer flask labeled fraction 3. Emmett neutralized the respective fractions. He obtained precipitate in fraction 1, and fraction 3. He ran an IR of the solid obtained in fraction 1 and saw a broad absorption at 3500-3300 cm-1 and a sharp absorption at 1710 cm-1. Fraction 3 showed…

The mixture contains benzoic acid, 2-napthol, and naphthalene. Dissolve the mixture in the polar solvent ether. When you react the mixture with 10% NaHCO3(sodium bicarbonatea weak base in aqueous solution) reacts with benzoic acid and forms sodium benzoate an ionic compound (similar to NaCl) that dissolves in aqueous solution (heavier than ether in density) and goes to the bottom of the centrifuge tube or to the bottom of the separatory funnel forming two layers. Then remove the bottom aqueous layer and collect in a beaker labeled as bicarbonate extract. Acidify the bicarbonate extract in the beaker to give benzoic acid. The top ethereal layer contains in the centrifuge tube or separatory funnel 2-napthol and naphthalene. To this top layer add 10% NaOH (sodium hydroxideis a strong base in aqueous solution reacts with only 2-napthol, a weak acid forming 2-napthoxide an ionic compound soluble in aqueous solution (similar to NaCl) that goes to the bottom of the centrifuge tube or to…

An organic compound was prepared and purified by chromatography. A conductivity measurement showed the compound to be a nonelectrolyte. Elemental analysis gave an empirical formula of CH3O. A 0.127 g sample of the compound was dissolved in water and diluted to 100.0 mL, and the osmotic pressure of that solution was determined to 0.492 atm at 20°C. Determine the molar mass of the compound. (R = 0.0821 L·atm/K·mol) None of the above 42.1 g/mol 62.1 g/mol 32.1 g/mol 52.1 g/mol
