stoichiometry problem ?
« on: February 07, 2011, 08:07:33 PM »
Assuming the bleach used for this reaction is 6.00% NaOCl (m/v), how many milliliters of bleach will be necessary to completely react with 25.0 mmol of isoborneol?

does 6% mean that it is 6g/100ml ? Even knowing that I am still stuck any help getting started would be much appreciated

If it's a stoichiometry problem, you'll have to have a balanced equation.  And yes, "m/v" is mass per unit volume.

Do you have the balanced equation?  I do not know isoborneol's structure off the top of my head, sorry.  :-(

ya its a 1:1 ratio between all ....C10H18O + NaOCl --> C10H16O + NaCl + H2O

Then you will need exactly 25.0 mmol of bleach as it's a 1:1 ratio.
