Interpretation:
The overall equation that represents the decomposition has to be written.
Concept Introduction:
The overall chemical equation is represented by the net result of two elementary reactions in the mechanism. This is obtained by summing up the steps and canceling the species that occur in either side of the reactions.
Elementary reactions are single molecular event that includes collision of molecule and results in reaction.
The net chemical equation is obtained from the set of elementary reactions. This gives the overall effect called as reaction mechanism.

When the Grignard reaction begins to slow down, place 10 g of crushed dry ice in a 150 mL beaker. Do not take time to weigh the dry ice. Use approximately the amount in the beaker indicated by your instructor. The CO2 is in large excess and will not affect your calculation of percent yield of benzoic acid product. Cover the beaker with a watch glass. 2. When most of the magnesium has reacted and the ether boiling subsides, quickly pour the contents of the tube into the beaker containing dry ice. 3. Add a few milliliters of ether to the test tube and swirl to rinse. Add the rinse liquid to the beaker. 4. Cover the beaker with the watch glass and allow it to stand until the next lab period. During the interim, the excess dry ice will have sublimed. 5. Hydrolyze the Grignard addition product by slowing adding 30 mL of…arrow_forwardEmergency oxygen masks contain potassium superoxide (KO₂).
