propan-2-ol will be oxidised to propanone.26 Use of the Data Booklet is relevant to this question. 2.40g of propan-2-ol were mixed with excess acidified potassium dichromate(VI). The reaction mixture was then boiled under reflux for twenty minutes. The organic product was then collected by distillation. The yield of product was 75.0%. What mass of product was collected? A 1.74g B 1.80g C 2.22g D 2.32g
Mr of propan-2-ol = 60
Mr of propanone = 58
moles of propan-2-ol = 0.04mol
1:1 ratio
moles of propaone = 0.0.4mol
mass of propaone = 2.32g
75% of mass was the product = 75% of 2.32g = 1.74g
