While performing the Acid-catalyzed Hydrolysis of Epoxides experiment you used a solution containing 1.84 mL of cyclohexene oxide. After the reaction was completed and worked up, you obtained 0.739 g of 1,2-cyclohexane diol. Calculate the moles of starting material used.

Answer :

Answer:

The moles of starting material is [tex]1.8212 \times 10^{-2}[/tex] mole

Explanation:

Given:

Cyclohexene oxide material is used

Density = 0.97[tex]\frac{g}{mL}[/tex]

Volume = 1.84  mL

Formula of Cyclohexene oxide = [tex]C_{6} H_{10} O[/tex]

Molar mass is given by,

[tex]C = 6 \times 12 = 72[/tex]

[tex]H = 10 \times 1 = 10[/tex]

[tex]O = 1 \times 16 = 16[/tex]

⇒ [tex]m' = 96\frac{g}{mol}[/tex]

Mass [tex]m = 0.97 \times 1.84 = 1.7848[/tex] [tex]g[/tex]

Moles is given by,

  [tex]n = \frac{m}{m'}[/tex]

  [tex]n = \frac{1.7848}{98}[/tex]

  [tex]n = 1.8212 \times 10^{-2}[/tex] mol

Therefore, the moles of starting material is [tex]1.8212 \times 10^{-2}[/tex] mole
