Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry - Result Question 53

####52. n-butane is produced by monobromination of ethane followed by Wurtz’s reaction.Calculate volume of ethane at NTP required to produce 55gn-butane, if the bromination takes place with 90 yield and the Wurtz’s reaction with 85 yield.

Solution:

  1. Reactions involved are

C2H6+Br2C2H5Br+HBr 2C2H5Br+2NaC4H10+2NaBr

Actual yield of C4H10=55g which is 85 of theoretical yield.

Theoretical yield of C4H10=55×10085=64.70g

Also, 2 moles ( 218g ) C2H5Br gives 58g of butane.

64.70g of butane would be obtained from

258×64.70=2.23 moles C2H5Br

Also yield of bromination reaction is only 90, in order to have 2.23 moles of C2H5Br, theoretically

2.23×10090=2.48 moles of C2H5Br required. 

Therefore, moles of C2H6 required =2.48

Volume of C2H6 (NTP) required =2.48×22.4=55.55L.
