I assume you mean 'structure' :)


Metals undergo metallic bonding. In this type of bond, metal atoms loose their valence electrons (that become delocalised). This type of bonding creates a regular layered lattice with positive metal ions and a sea of delocalised electrons floating between the layers. These layers slide over each other and results in metals being both malleable and ductile.


Hope it helps!

The process in which an organic acid and an alcohol react to form an ester and water is known as esterification. Ethyl butanoate
Daniel [21]

Answer:

696g

Explanation:

To determine the mass of ethylbutanoate produced, it is important that we know the number of moles of ethylbutanoate produced.

Now from the chemical equation, it can be seen that one mole of ethanol produces one mole of ethylbutanoate. This means that 6.0 mol of ethanol will surely produce 6.0 mol of ethylbutanoate.

Now, we need to get the mass of ethylbutanoate produced. The mass of ethylbutanoate produced is the number of moles of ethylbutanoate produced multiplied by the molar mass of ethylbutanoate produced.

The molar mass of ethylbutanoate is 12(6) + 12(1) + 16(2) = 116g/mol

The mass thus produced is 116 * 6 = 696g
