dehydrobromination of meso-stilbene dibromide
« on: February 28, 2005, 03:49:27 PM »
i am having trouble discerning which is the limiting reagent
the lab required us to use an elimination reaction converting meso-stilbene dibromide and 2KOH to diphenylacetylene
we used the following materials
Compound   M M   Volume used (mL)   Weight used (g)   Moles Used
Meso-stilbene dibromide   342.07   NA   0.150   1
Potassium hydroxide   56.11   NA   0.080   2
Triethylene glycol   150.17   1   NA   NA
95% ethanol   46.07   0.5   NA   NA

Write down the chemical equation
Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex
