acetanilide

[nemzy]

If each molecule of acetanilide produces one molecule of hydroge bromide, what volume of HBr gas should be evolved from the reaction?

 

So to solve this, ONE molecule of acetanlide will produce ONE molecule of hydrogen bromide...

 

then, the molecular weight of hydrogen bromide produced will have a mass of 82 grams...

 

Ok, am i doing this problem correctly so far?

 

So what step do i have to go to next, i am confused on how to approach this problem, thanks

What temp is it at? your on the right track..........

ok i have NO clue what you're talking about. acetanilide has no bromine in it. you have acetanilide reacting with.....nothing it appears so no you're totally wrong because bromine isnt in any of the reactants. the molecular mass of hydrogen bromide is not 82.

what problem is this you are referring to?

[nemzy]

its the substitution of hydrogen on a benzene ring by molecular bromine

 

acetanlide + Br2 ---> 4-Bormoacetanilide +HBr
