Mole - one of the most important concepts in chemistry - is a kind of link to go from the microworld of atoms and molecules in a normal macrocosm grams and kilograms.
In chemistry often have to consider large numbers of atoms and molecules. For fast and efficient calculation made using the weighing method. But it is necessary to know the weight of individual atoms and molecules. In order to identify the molecular weight must be added the weight of all atoms in the compound.
7.66g of ethyl butyrate is produced.
The reaction is
CH₃CH₂CH₂COOH + CH₃CH₂OH ----> CH₃CH₂CH₂COOCH₂CH₃
- The molar mass of butanoic acid is 88.11g/mol
- We have 7.45g of butanoic acid
- The moles of butanoic acid we have is 7.45/88.11 = 0.0845 mol
- If the yield is 100%, 1 mole of butanoic acid gives 1 mole of ethyl butyrate
- But the reaction yield is 78%
- 1 mole of butanoic acid gives 0.78 mole of ethyl butyrate
From 0.0845 mol of butanoic acid we get 0.78 x 0.0845 = 0.66 mol of ethyl butyrate.
The molar mass of ethyl butyrate is 116.16g/mol
So 0.66 x 116.16 = 7.66g
7.66g of ethyl butyrate is produced.
