Title: acetanilide
Post by: nemzy on February 02, 2005, 10:40:16 PM

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

It depends what is the limiting reagent acetanilide or bromine?

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

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