- Given the chemical equation in the synthesis of benzoic acid from toluene and potassium permanganate: C7H8(I) + 2KMnO4(aq) → KC7H5O2 + 2MnO2 (s) + KOH (aq) + H2O (I) KC2H5O2 (aq) + HCl (aq) → C7H8O2 (s) + KCl (aq) MW: C7H8 = 92.14 KMnO4 = 158.03 MnO2 = 86.94 KC7H5O2 = 160.21 C7H8O2 = 122 Density: C7H8 = 0.87 g/mL KMnO4 = 2.7 g/mL KC7H5O2 = 1.5 g/mL C7H8O2 = 1.27 g/mL If 1 mL of toluene and 4 mL of 50% w/v potassium permanganate solution are used to synthesize the benzoic acid in a reflux set-up, calculate the theoretical yield of benzoic acid. Show your complete solution and underline your final answer.arrow_forwardAccount the solubility of carboxylic acids in distilled waterarrow_forwardDescribe a sequence of reactions by which trans-2-pentene can be prepared from propyne.arrow_forward
- Provide the reagents for the reactions.arrow_forwardWrite an equation for the reaction of chloroacetic acid (Ka=1.5103) with trimethylamine (Kb=5.9105) . Calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction. If 0.10 M solutions of these two species are mixed, what will be their concentrations at equilibrium?arrow_forwardFollowing is the structural formula of the tranquilizer meparfynol (Oblivon). Propose a synthesis for this compound starting with acetylene and a ketone. (Notice the -yn- and -ol in the chemical name of this compound, indicating that it contains alkyne and hydroxyl functional groups.)arrow_forward
- Lipoic acid is required by many microorganisms for proper growth. As a disulfide, it functions in the living system by catalyzing certain oxidation reactions and is reduced in the process. Write the structure of the reduction product.arrow_forwardPhotochemical chlorination of 2,2,4-trimethylpentane gives four isomeric monochlorides. (a) Write structural formulas for these four isomers. (b) The two primary chlorides make up 65% of the monochloride fraction. Assuming that all the primary hydrogens in 2,2,4-trimethylpentane are equally reactive, estimate the percentage of each of the two primary chlorides in the product mixture.arrow_forwardWrite a series of reactions leading to para-bromoethylbenzene, beginning with benzene and using other reagents as needed. What isomeric side products might also be formed?arrow_forward
