Question

Into a round-bottom flask, 2-naphthol (0.9938 g) and sodium methoxide (0.3728 g) is dissolved in acetonitrile (10.0 ml). This solution is then reacted with 1-bromobutane (0.9865) to produce the 2-butoxynaphthalene (MW

a. Mass of 2-naphthol

b. Mass of sodium methoxide

c. Volume of acetonitrile

d. Mass of 1-bromobutane

Answer 1

The student's question lists the quantities of reactants used in the synthesis of 2-butoxynaphthalene: 0.9938 g of 2-naphthol, 0.3728 g of sodium methoxide, 10.0 ml of acetonitrile, and 0.9865 g of 1-bromobutane.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question involves a chemical synthesis procedure where 2-naphthol and 1-bromobutane react in the presence of sodium methoxide to produce 2-butoxynaphthalene. To list the materials used in the synthesis:

• Mass of 2-naphthol: 0.9938 g
• Mass of sodium methoxide: 0.3728 g
• Volume of acetonitrile: 10.0 ml
• Mass of 1-bromobutane: 0.9865 g
