Suggest appropriate mole proportion to synthesize of tetrapotassium iminodisuccinate in three steps: the first step involves the addition of water and KOH sequentially to 4.6 g maleic anhydride. second step: ammonium bicarbonate was added gradually stirring for 1 hour at 50°c. the last step: stirring for 0.5 hour at 110 c for the cyclization process.
Accepted Answer
The mole proportion of reactants for the synthesis of tetrapotassium iminodisuccinate is not readily determined from the given information. The information provides a procedural outline, but not enough to definitively calculate mole ratios. To determine the appropriate mole proportions, you would need to know the following:
1. Reaction Stoichiometry: The balanced chemical equations for each of the three steps involved in the synthesis. This would reveal the precise mole ratios required for each reactant.
2. Desired Yield: Knowing the desired yield of tetrapotassium iminodisuccinate would help determine the starting amounts of each reagent.
3. Purity of Reactants: The purity of the reactants (maleic anhydride, KOH, and ammonium bicarbonate) would influence the actual amounts needed.
Therefore, to provide appropriate mole proportions, more detailed information about the synthesis process is necessary.
