A 100 mL solution of on treatment with methanol produces 2.24 mL of a gas at STP. The weight of gas produced is ____ mg. [nearest integer]
Answer: 3
Solution
The Grignard reagent reacts with methanol (a protic solvent) to produce ethane gas:
Volume of gas at STP = 2.24 mL = L
Number of moles: mol
Molar mass of ethane () = 30 g/mol
Weight = g = 3 mg
Volume of gas at STP = 2.24 mL = L
Number of moles: mol
Molar mass of ethane () = 30 g/mol
Weight = g = 3 mg
