Correct Answer: 3

Solution and Explanation

\(CH_3−CH_2−MgBr+CH_3OH→CH_3−CH_3+MgBr(OCH_3)\)

As \(2.24\) ml is formed at STP.

Number of moles of ethane gas produced

\(\frac{2.24x}{22.4}\)

\(10^{−4} ml\)

Mass of ethane produced = \(10^{–4} × 30 = 3 × 10^{–3} = 3 \) \(mg\)

Solutions

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more components in which the particle size is smaller than 1 nm.

For example, salt and sugar is a good illustration of a solution. A solution can be categorized into several components.

Types of Solutions:

The solutions can be classified into three types:

  • Solid Solutions - In these solutions, the solvent is in a Solid-state.
  • Liquid Solutions- In these solutions, the solvent is in a Liquid state.
  • Gaseous Solutions - In these solutions, the solvent is in a Gaseous state.

On the basis of the amount of solute dissolved in a solvent, solutions are divided into the following types:

  1. Unsaturated Solution- A solution in which more solute can be dissolved without raising the temperature of the solution is known as an unsaturated solution.
  2. Saturated Solution- A solution in which no solute can be dissolved after reaching a certain amount of temperature is known as an unsaturated saturated solution.
  3. Supersaturated Solution- A solution that contains more solute than the maximum amount at a certain temperature is known as a supersaturated solution.
