The equation for the reaction is:

C₄H₈O₂ + C₂H₅OH = C₆H₁₂O₂ + H₂O

Now you see that the number of the moles of butanoic acid and etyl butyrate is equal in

the reaction. That means;

number of moles of C₄H₈O₂ = number of moles of C₆H₁₂O₂

mass of C₄H₈O₂/ Molar mass of C₄H₈O₂ = mass of C₆H₁₂O₂/ molar mass of C₆H₁₂O₂

mass of C₆H₁₂O₂ = molar mass of C₆H₁₂O₂ x mass of C₄H₈O₂/ Molar mass of C₄H₈O₂

Now, assuming <span>100% yield, the mass of ethyl butyrate produced is: </span>

<span>= 7.45/88.11 x 116.16</span>

<span>=9.82g</span>

<span>Thus, the theoretical yield of ethyl butyrate is 9.82g.</span>

CO_2 sublimes readily at 25°C. Which properties are usually associated with a compound that undergoes this kind of change?
antoniya [11.8K]

Explanation:

Sublimation is defined as a process in which solid state of a substance directly changes into vapor or gaseous state without undergoing liquid phase.

For example, naphthalene balls show sublimation at room temperature.

As this process does not cause any change in chemical composition of a substance. Hence, it is known as a physical process.

Similarly, when CO_{2} sublimes readily at 25^{o}C. This shows change in physical state of carbon dioxide is taking place, i.e, from solid to gaseous phase.

Thus, we can conclude that when CO_{2} sublimes readily at 25^{o}C then it means physical properties are usually associated with a compound that undergoes this kind of change.

Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space, It can exist in 3 states, or phases: solid, liquid, and gas.

Solid molecules are closely packed together and retain a fixed shape.

Liquid molecules aren't packed very closely, and take the shape of the bottom of the container.

Gas molecules are far apart and fill the container

completely.
