Question

0.05 mole of LiAlH4 in ether solution was placed in a flask containing 74 g (1 mole) of t - butyl alcohol. The product LiAlHC12H27O3 weighed 12.7 g.
If Li atoms are conserved, the percentage yield is:
(Given atomic masses (amu): Li=7, Al=27, H=1, C=12, O=16)

Solution

The correct option is C 100%
LiAlH4+tbutyl alcohol Ether−−LiAlHC12H27O3 (M.Wt.=254)

0.05 mol 12.7g

so, moles of product =12.7254=0.05 mol

Li atom remains conserved so,
Number of moles of LiAlH4 = Number of moles of LiAlHC12H27O3
So, Number of moles of LiAlHC12H27O3 that should form are =0.05
% yield =0.050.05×100=100%
