Explanation / Answer

Reaction data

stilbene to stilbene dibromide

Initial moles of stilbene = grams/molar mass

grams stilbene taken = 0.5 g

molar mass of stilbene = 180.25 g/mol

So,

moles of stilbene = 0.5 g/180.25 g/mol = 0.003 mol

1 mole of stilbene forms 1 mole of stilbene dibromide

Theoretical moles of stilbene dibromide formed = 0.003 mol

molar mass of stilbene dibromide = 340.058 g/mol

therefore,

theoretical yield of stilbene dibromide = 0.003 mol x 340.058 g/mol = 0.943 g

actual yield of stilbene dibromide = say x g

then,

Percent yield of stilbene dibromide = (x g/0.943 g) x 100

Actual melting point range of stilbene dibromide = 236oC

Stilbene dibromide to diphenyl acetylene

From the theoretical yield from first step,

mass of stilbene dibromide = 0.943 g

moles of stilbene dibromide = 0.003 mol

molar mass of diphenyl acetylene = 178.24 g/mol

1 mole of stilbene dibromide would yield 1 mole of diphenyl acetylene

so, moles of diphenyl acetylene would be formed = 0.003 mols

Theoretical yield of diphenyl acetylene = 0.003 mol x 178.24 g/mol = 0.535 g

now lets say,

actual yield of diphenyl acetylene = say y g

then,

Percent yield of diphenyl acetylene = (y g/0.535 g) x 100

Actual melting point range of diphenyl acetylene = 60oC
