Answer: The mass of ester produced would be, 7.92 grams.

Explanation : Given,

Mass of butanoic acid = 7.70 g

Molar mass of butanoic acid = 88 g/mol

Molar mass of ethyl butyrate = 116 g/mol

First we have to calculate the moles of butanoic acid.

\text{Moles of butanoic acid}=\frac{\text{Given mass butanoic acid}}{\text{Molar mass butanoic acid}}

\text{Moles of butanoic acid}=\frac{7.70g}{88g/mol}=0.0875mol

Now we have to calculate the moles of C_6H_{12}O_2

The balanced chemical equation is:

C_4H_8O_2+C_2H_5OH\rightarrow C_6H_{12}O_2+H_2O

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 1 mole of C_4H_8O_2 react to give 1 mole of C_6H_{12}O_2

So, 0.0875 mole of C_4H_8O_2 react to give 0.0875 mole of C_6H_{12}O_2

Now we have to calculate the mass of C_6H_{12}O_2

\text{ Mass of }C_6H_{12}O_2=\text{ Moles of }C_6H_{12}O_2\times \text{ Molar mass of }C_6H_{12}O_2

\text{ Mass of }C_6H_{12}O_2=(0.0875moles)\times (116g/mole)=10.15g

To calculate the amount of ester formed When the yield 78.0 % is calculated as follows:

\text{Percent yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100

Theoretical yield = 10.15 g

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

78.0=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{10.15g}\times 100

\text{Experimental yield}=7.92g

Therefore, the mass of ester produced would be, 7.92 grams.

The grams that would be produced  from 7.70 g of butanoic acid and excess ethanol is 7.923grams

calculation

Step 1: write the chemical equation for the reaction

CH3CH2CH2COOH + CH3CH2OH →  CH3CH2CH2COOCH2CH3  +H2O

step 2: find the moles of butanoic acid

moles= mass/ molar mass

=  7.70 g/ 88 g/mol=0.0875 moles

Step 3:  use the mole ratio to determine the moles of ethyl butyrate

moles ratio of CH3CH2CH2COOH :CH3CH2CH2COOCH2CH3  is 1:1 therefore the moles of CH3CH2CH2COOCH2CH3 = 0.0875  x78/100=0.0683moles

step 4: find mass = moles x molar mass

 =  0.0683 moles  x116 g/mol=7.923grams

A 0.1 mm sample of human blood has approximately 6000 red blood cells. An adult typically has 5.0 L of blood. How many red blood
olga55 [171]

 3.0 × 10¹¹ RBC's    (or)      3E11 RBC's


Solution:

Step 1: Convert mm³ into L;


As,


                                            1 mm³  =  1.0 × 10⁻⁶ Liters


So,


                                         0.1 mm³  =  X  Liters


Solving for X,


                       X  =  (0.1 mm³ × 1.0 × 10⁻⁶ Liters) ÷ 1 mm³


                       X  =  1.0 × 10⁻⁷ Liters


Step 2: Calculate No. of RBC's in 5 Liter Blood:


As given


                        1.0 × 10⁻⁷ Liters Blood contains  =  6000 RBC's


So,


                         5.0 Liters of Blood will contain  =  X  RBC's


Solving for X,


                      X  =  (5.0 Liters × 6000 RBC's) ÷ 1.0 × 10⁻⁷ Liters


                      X  =  3.0 × 10¹¹ RBC's


Or,


                     X  =  3E11 RBC's

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

The arrow points from the reactants to the products, so just follow the arrows.

Explanation:

some have the reactants on the left and the products on the right, and others are the opposite... just know that

reactants---------> products

or

products<-----------reactants
