Your answer would be 0.024951344877489 but rounding it would be 0.025 moles
The grams that would be produced from 7.70 g of butanoic acid and excess ethanol is 7.923grams
calculation
Step 1: write the chemical equation for the reaction
CH3CH2CH2COOH + CH3CH2OH → CH3CH2CH2COOCH2CH3 +H2O
step 2: find the moles of butanoic acid
moles= mass/ molar mass
= 7.70 g/ 88 g/mol=0.0875 moles
Step 3: use the mole ratio to determine the moles of ethyl butyrate
moles ratio of CH3CH2CH2COOH :CH3CH2CH2COOCH2CH3 is 1:1 therefore the moles of CH3CH2CH2COOCH2CH3 = 0.0875 x78/100=0.0683moles
step 4: find mass = moles x molar mass
= 0.0683 moles x116 g/mol=7.923grams
Answer:
Explanation:
Hello,
Based on the given reaction, since magnesium and water are in a 1:2 molar ratio at the reactants, we must apply the following stoichiometric factors to compute the complete reaction of the 6.0 g of magnesium:
