Answer:
8 gram
Explanation:
in case of NaOH, normality=molarity
so normality=molarity×acidity or basicity(in case of NaOH it's 1)
then
weight of NaOH required = volume in ml × equivalent weight × normality / 1000
so
1000× 40× 0.2/1000
=8 gram
Percentage yield=(actual yield/theoretical yield) x 100%
= (45/50) x 100%
= 90%
Answer:
Esterification reaction
Explanation:
When we have to go from an acid to an ester we can use the <u>esterification reaction</u>. On this reaction, an alcohol reacts with a carboxylic acid on acid medium to produce an ester and water. (See figure).
In this case, we need the <u>methyl ester</u>, therefore we have to choose the <u>appropriate alcohol</u>, so we have to use the <u>methanol</u> as reactive if we have to produce the methyl ester.
