A student mixes wants to prepare 24.1 mmol of benzamide from benzoyl chloride and NH4OH. If the student uses excess 15 M NH4OH, how many mL of Benzoyl chloride must be used

2.81mL

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

C₆H₃COCl + 2NH₃ → C₆H₅CONH₂ + NH₄Cl

Benzoyl chloride + ammonia → Benzamide

1 mole of benzoyl chloride in excess of ammonia produce 1 mole of Benzamide.

Thus, assuming a theoretical yield, to produce 24.1mmoles of benzamide you require 24.1mmoles of benzoyl chloride.

As molar mass of benzoyl chloride is 141g/mol, mg you require are:

mg Benzoyl chloride: 24.1mmol × (141mg / 1mmol) = 3398.1mg = 3.3981g of benzoyl chloride.

to convert this mass to mL, you require density of Benzoyl chloride (1.21g/mL). Thus, mL you need are:

3.3981g × (1mL / 1.21g) =

given:

mass of na = 115 g

excess cl2

to determine:

mass of nacl produced

explanation:

given reaction is-

2na(s) + cl2(g) → 2nacl(s)

since cl2 is in excess, na will be the limiting reagent

as per the reaction stoichiometry na: nacl = 1: 1

i.e. moles of na reacted = moles of nacl formed

now, # moles of na = mass of na/atomic mass

                                  = 115 g/23 g.mol-1 = 5 moles

therefore, moles of nacl = 5

molar mass of nacl = 58 g/mol

mass of nacl = 5 moles * 58 g.mol-1 = 290 g

ans: amount of nacl produced = 290 g
