Answer:
1.19 g
Explanation:
Given that:
Molecular weight of diene [tex]M.W_d =[/tex]136 g/mol
Molecular weight of Maleic Anhydride [tex]M.W_{m.a}=[/tex]96 g/mol
Mass of crude diene = 2.5 g
Percent of Composition for Peak A = 66%
Percent of Composition for Peak B = 22.66%
Percent of Composition for Peak C = 11.33%
Let us determine the amount of diene in the sample;
So, using [tex]A_d[/tex] to represent the amount of diene; we have :
[tex]A_d[/tex] = [tex]m*P_a[/tex]
[tex]A_d[/tex] = [tex]2.5 *\frac{66}{100}[/tex]
[tex]A_d[/tex] = 1.65 g
Using the limiting reagent equation to determine the amount of Maleic Anhydride [tex]A_{ma}[/tex]
[tex]A_{ma}[/tex] = [tex]A_d[/tex] [tex]* \frac{1mole diene}{M.W_d} *\frac{M.W_{m.a}}{1 mole of maleic anhydride}[/tex]
[tex]A_{ma}[/tex] = [tex]1.65 * \frac{1 mole}{136}*\frac{98}{1 mole}[/tex]
[tex]A_{ma}[/tex] = 1.19 g
The grams of Maleic Anhydride used to react with 2.5 g sample of crude diene = 1.19 g
