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>
