What conclusion can you draw from the experiment about the components of the black ink

Answer:

                    Benzoyl Chloride

Explanation:

                     Friedel-Craft Acylation is a reaction used to incorporate electrophiles (especially carbonyl groups) into the double bonds of aromatic compounds.

This scenario involves synthesizing benzophenone using benzene and benzoyl chloride.

Mechanism:

Step 1: Initially, benzoyl chloride reacts with a Lewis acid to create an electrophile known as oxo(phenyl)methylium.

Step 2: The second stage involves benzene participating in an electrophilic substitution reaction, where the electrophile is added.

Step 3: Finally, the aromatic nature of benzene is restored by releasing a proton.

The enthalpy change associated with the precipitation reaction is 84 kJ/mole

Why?

The chemical equation for the reaction can be written as

AgNO₃(aq) + NaCl (aq) → AgCl(s) + NaNO₃(aq)

To determine the enthalpy change, the following equation applies

To calculate the heat (Q):

Next, we need to calculate the number of moles involved in the reaction (n):

With these two values, we can substitute them into the first equation:
