Ethylene oxide (C2H40) a fumigant sometimes used by exterminators, is synthesized in 90% yield by reaction of ethylene bromohy-drin with sodium hydroxide:
C2H5BrO + NaOH →
C2H40 + NaBr + H20.
How much ethylene bromohydrin would be consumed in the production of 688 g of ethylene oxide, at 90% yield?
Answer in units of g.
