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>

How do you determine the proper number of significant figures of a liquid using a graduated cylinder
Aleksandr [31]
You determine the correct number of significant figure of a measurement in a graduated cylinder by looking at the smallest division on the graduated cylinder. If the division is divided up to the ones place, you can still read the half of that division or the .50 measurement. So, you can have until the tenths place in your measurement.

What is the energy of the photons of a laser with a frequency of 5.75 x 10^12 Hz? (Hint: Remember to round your answer to the lo
Simora [160]

Answer:

E = 3.81×10 ⁻²¹ J

Explanation:

Given data:

Frequency of photon = 5.75 ×10¹² Hz

Plancks constant = 6.626 ×10⁻³⁴ Js

Energy of photon = ?

Solution:

E = h×f

E = 6.626 ×10⁻³⁴ Js ×  5.75 ×10¹² s⁻¹

E = 38.1×10 ⁻²² J

E = 3.81×10 ⁻²¹ J
