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

answer to 29 is
first write the balanced equation
c6h8o7 + 3NAOH gives c6h5o7na3 + 3h2o
then find the mols of 3NAOH that is:- 3x0.005 = 0.015 mol
now we will calculate volume that is equal to mol divided by concentration
0.015/0.4 = 0.0375dm3
0.0375dm3=37.5cm3
hope you understand if any question reply

Thanks for the solution. Btw, how do I know how to form C6H5O7Na3 ? I know the calculation part but not this.

Should not the answer be B. Because as the reaction is exothermic, increasing the temperature will shift the equilibrium towards reactants, and the rate of backward reaction increases.
But answer is A, how?

it will shift backwards so the "yield" of products on LHS increases.
increasing temperature increases "rates" whether the reaction is exo or endo. And the effect is on both sides.

propan-2-ol will be oxidised to propanone.
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

Same goes for pressure right? Increasing pressure increases both forward and backward rate? :)
