Steps: 1. Place 0.0055 mole of trans-stilbene (MW = 180.25
g/mol) and 10.0 mL glacial (concentrated) acetic acid in a 50 mL
round bottom flask. Record the exact mass of stilbene used. 3.
Remove the condenser, add 0.0062 mole of pyridinium tribromide (MW
= 319.82 g/mol) and an additional 10.0 mL of glacial acetic acid
(use the acid to rinse any crystals from the sides of the flask
into the solution).
1) Determine the mass of trans-stilbene and pyridinium
tribromide required in steps 1 and 3.
2) Write the reaction equation and determine the limiting
reagent.
3) Show the elementary steps that are involved in the overall
reaction by drawing a reaction energy diagram (energy vs. reaction
progress or coordinate). Which elementary step is likely to be rate
determining?
