MCQ
A sample of $4.5\,mg$ of an unknown monohydric alcohol, $R - OH$ was added to methylmagnesium iodide. A gas is evolved and is collected and its volume measured to be $3.1\,mL$. The molecular weight of the unknown alcohol is $g / mol$. [Nearest integer]
  • $33$
  • B
    $32$
  • C
    $31$
  • D
    $30$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$33$
a
$ROH + CH _{3} MgI \rightarrow ROMgI + CH _{4}( g )$

moles of $CH _{4}=$ moles of $ROH$

$\frac{ V }{22400}=\frac{ m }{ M \cdot M }$ (Assuming NTP Condition)

$\frac{3.1}{22400}=\frac{4.5 \times 10^{-3}}{ M.M }$

$MM =32.51$

Nearest Integer $=33$
