Grignard reagent $\mathrm{RMgBr}(\mathrm{P})$ reacts with water and forms a gas $(\mathrm{Q})$. One gram of Q occupies $1.4 \mathrm{dm}^3$ at STP. (P) on reaction with dry ice in dry ether followed by $\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{O}^{+}$forms a compound (Z). 0.1 mole of (Z) will weigh $\_\_\_\_$ g. (Nearest integer)
Explanation:
With water, a Grignard reagent gives the corresponding hydrocarbon:
$ \mathrm{RMgBr + H_2O \rightarrow RH\ (Q) + Mg(OH)Br} $
Given 1 g of $Q$ occupies $1.4\,\text{dm}^3$ at STP.
Moles in $1.4\,\text{dm}^3$:
$ n=\frac{1.4}{22.4}=0.0625\ \text{mol} $
So molar mass of $Q$:
$ M=\frac{1}{0.0625}=16\ \text{g mol}^{-1} $
A hydrocarbon gas with molar mass 16 is methane, $\mathrm{CH_4}$. Hence $R=\mathrm{CH_3}$, and $P=\mathrm{CH_3MgBr}$.
Carboxylation with dry ice followed by acid workup gives:
$ \mathrm{CH_3MgBr \xrightarrow[ether]{CO_2} CH_3COO^{-}MgBr \xrightarrow{H_3O^+} CH_3COOH\ (Z)} $
So $Z$ is acetic acid, $\mathrm{CH_3COOH}$, with molar mass $60\ \text{g mol}^{-1}$.
Mass of $0.1$ mol:
$ 0.1 \times 60 = 6\ \text{g} $
Answer: 6 g

Claisen - Schmidt reaction :
Condensation of aromatic aldehydes / ketones (without alpha-hydrogen) with diphatic aldehydes /ketones (with alpha-hydrogen) in the presence of weak base to form $\alpha,\beta$-unsaturated aldehydes/ketones.
Given
benzaldehyde $\to$ dibenzalacetone

Formula of percent yield
Percent yield $ = {{actual\,yield} \over {Theoretical\,yield}} \times 100$
Actual yield = 3.51 g
From the reaction, the stoichiometric ratio between benzaldehyde and dibenzal acetone is 2 : 1
benzaldehyde : dibenzalacetone
$2:1$
$1:{1 \over 2}$
Moles of benzaldehyde:
$Moles = {{Mass} \over {Molar\,mass}}$
$ = {{5.3\,g} \over {106.12\,g/mol}}$
= 0.04994 mol
Molarmass of benzaldehyde = 106.12 g/mol
For 1 mole of benzaldehyde, $\frac{1}{2}$ moles product (dibenzalacetone) is formed.
So, for 0.04994 mol benzaldehyde, $\frac{1}{2}\times0.04994$ mol dibenzalacetone is formed.
So, moles of dibenzalacetone = 0.02497 mol
Mass of product dibenzalacetone (Theoretical yield)
Mass = moles $\times$ molarmass
$=0.02497$ mol $\times$ $234.29$ g/mol
= 5.850 g
Percent yield $ = {{3.51\,g} \over {5.85\,g}} \times 100$
$ = 0.6 \times 100 = 60\% $

Vanillin compound obtained from vanilla beans, has total sum of oxygen atoms and $\pi$ electrons is __________.
Explanation:
To determine the total sum of oxygen atoms and $\pi$ electrons in vanillin, let's first consider the structure of vanillin. Vanillin is an organic compound with the chemical formula $C_8H_8O_3$. It consists of a benzene ring attached to a methoxy group (-OCH3), a hydroxyl group (-OH), and an aldehyde group (-CHO).
Firstly, let's count the oxygen atoms:
- One from the methoxy group (-OCH3)
- One from the hydroxyl group (-OH)
- One from the aldehyde group (-CHO)
Thus, there are a total of 3 oxygen atoms in vanillin.
Next, let's calculate the total number of $\pi$ electrons:
- The benzene ring has 3 double bonds, contributing 6 $\pi$ electrons.
- The aldehyde group has 1 double bond (C=O), contributing 2 $\pi$ electrons.
- The methoxy group and the hydroxyl group do not contribute any $\pi$ electrons since they do not have $\pi$ bonds in their structures.
Therefore, vanillin has a total of 8 $\pi$ electrons from the benzene ring and the aldehyde group.
Adding the number of oxygen atoms (3) and the $\pi$ electrons (8) gives us a total sum of 11.
Thus, the total sum of oxygen atoms and $\pi$ electrons in vanillin is 11.
