Q.

Consider the above sequence of reactions. 151 g of 2-bromopentane is made to react. Yield of major product P is 80% whereas Q is 100%.

Mass of product Q obtained is ______ g.

(Given molar mass in g mol-1: H : 1, C : 12, O : 16, Br : 80)  [2025]


Ans.

(184)

Moles of 2-bromopentane taken initially = Mass of 2-bromopentaneMolar mass of 2-bromopentane
=151151=1 mol

Molar mass of Q (C5H10Br2)

=(5×12+10×1+2×80)g mol-1=230g mol-1

Mass of 0.8 mol Q =0.8×230 g=184 g
