Ethylene oxide (C2H4O) a fumigant sometimes used by exterminators, is synthesized in
85% yield by reaction of ethylene bromohydrin with sodium hydroxide:
C2H5BrO + NaOH →
C2H4O + NaBr + H2O .
How much ethylene bromohydrin would be
consumed in the production of 122 g of ethylene oxide, at 85% yield?
Answer in units of g.
