If 44g of ethanal reacts completely with methyl magnesium iodide followed by hydrolysis, what is the theoretical mass of the secondary alcohol produced?
Q1. If 44g of ethanal reacts completely with methyl magnesium iodide followed by hydrolysis, what is the theoretical mass of the secondary alcohol produced?
Answer: 60 g
Explanation: Ethanal (44g) reacts with CH3MgI to form propan-2-ol (60g). 44g is tempting as it is the mass of the starting material.
