Answer to Problem 92P
The grams of diethyl ether formed from 4.60 g of ethanol are 3.69 g.
Explanation of Solution
The molar mass and given mass of ethanol is 46.07 g/mol and 4.60 g respectively. The number of moles is calculated as follows:
Substitute given mass and molar mass in the formula.
Therefore, the number of moles of ethanol is 0.0998 mol.
The balanced reaction is given as shown below:
In the given reaction, 2 moles of ethanol give 1 mole of diethyl ether. Therefore, 0.0998 mole of ethanol give 0.0998/2 = 0.0499 moles of diethyl ether.
The grams of ethanol are calculated as follows:
Therefore, the grams of diethyl ether formed from 4.60 g of ethanol are 3.69 g.
(g)
Interpretation:
The theoretical yield of diethyl ether in grams formed from 2.30 g of ethanol should be predicted.

Answer to Problem 92P
The theoretical yield of diethyl ether in grams formed from 2.30 g of ethanol is 1.81 g.
Explanation of Solution
The molar mass and given mass of ethanol is 46.07 g/mol and 2.30 g respectively. The number of moles is calculated as follows:
Substitute given mass and molar mass in the formula.
Therefore, the number of moles of ethanol is 0.049 mol.
The balanced reaction is given as shown below:
In the given reaction, 2 moles of ethanol give 1 mole of diethyl ether. Therefore, 0.049 mole of ethanol give 0.049/2 = 0.0245 moles of diethyl ether.
The grams of ethanol are calculated as follows:

(h)
Interpretation:
The percent yield of ethanol if 1.80 g of diethyl ether formed in part (g) should be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
The amount that is predicted by the calculation of stoichiometry of the reaction is known as theoretical yield. The amount that is produced by a product in a reaction is known as the actual yield. The ratio of actual yield to the theoretical yield is called percentage yield of a reaction.
Answer to Problem 92P
The percent yield of ethanol if 1.80 g of diethyl ether formed in part (g) is 100.5%.
Explanation of Solution
The theoretical yield and actual yield of diethyl ether is 1.81 g and 1.80 g respectively.
The percentage yield for the reaction is calculated as follows:
Substitute observed and theoretical yield in the above formula.
Therefore, the percent yield of ethanol if 1.80 g of diethyl ether formed in part (g) is 100.5%.
