Question

organic chemistry: calculate the theoretical yield in the production of t-pentyl chloride synthesis (if t-pentyl alcohol is limiting the rxn)

I think I calculated the first step correct, but I am stuck on the theoretical yield. please write out all the steps so I can learn!

1. Report the following data for your t-pentyl chloride synthesis. Show calculations in the space provided. (2.5 points) a) The mass of t-pentyl alcohol used 12.4 grams 10.0m t pentyl alcohol (0.8059) = 12.42gt pentge are 29* pentyl alcohol limiting b) The moles of t-pentyl alcohol used: 0.42 moles 12, 42 at-pentyl alco 88.2 /mol -pentylalc late = 0.1408 molest pentylala c) The mass of HCI used:_ 30. grams 25 mk HR (1.189) = 29.5 g He d) The moles of HCI used:_ 0.87 moles 29. Botice = 0.8091 molstce 36.463/mol HCl e) Actual mass of t-pentyl chloride product:_ 6.732 TD22 grams 33,0199 crude t pentul in flask - 26.287g empty flask= 6.732g 2. Calculate your theoretical yield in grams. Assume t-pentyl alcohol limits the reaction. (see Technique 2 for information on theoretical yield) (2 point) 0.48 motof jentgcald
