Given that0.1713g of Compound A was obtained and Compound A has a M.W of 382.19272g/mol.Let's find the number of moles of compound A. The formula for calculating the number of moles is Number of moles = mass/Molecular weightNumber of moles = 0.1713/382.19272 = 0.0004471 molNow, we have 1.1 molar equivalent of 1,10-phenathroline, which means the amount of 1,10-phenathroline used is 1.1 * 0.0004471 mol = 0.00049181 mol.Since 1,10-phenanthroline is the limiting reagent, it will be consumed completely. Therefore, the number of moles of Compound A that react is also 0.0004471 mol.The molar ratio of Compound A to 1,10-phenanthroline is 1:1, which means that 0.0004471 mol of Compound A reacts with 0.0004471 mol of 1,10-phenanthroline.Now, let's calculate the amount of 1,10-phenanthroline used. The formula for calculating the amount is Amount = number of moles * Molecular weightAmount = 0.0004471 * 180.19 = 0.08027 gTherefore, 0.08027 g of 1,10-phenanthroline is used in the reaction.
