Question

Match the following with their correct molecular weight. 2-butanone Propyl acetate 4-methyl-2-pentanone Butyl acetate Methanol Ethanol A. 46.07 g/mol B. 116.16 g/mol C. 102.13 g/mol D. 100.16 g/mol E. 32.04 g/mol F. 72.11 g/mol

Answer 1

Answer:

2-butanone = 72.11 g/mol (option F)

Propyl acetate  = 102.13 g/mol (option C)

4-methyl-2-pentanone = 100.16 g/mol (option D)

Butyl acetate = 116.16 g/mol (option B)

Methanol = 32.04 g/mol (option E)

Ethanol  = 46.07 g/mol (option A)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Molar mass of C = 12.01 g/mol

Molar mass of H = 1.01 g/mol

Molar mass of O = 16.00 g/mol

Step 2:

2-butanone = C4H8O

⇒ 4*12.01 + 8*1.01 + 16.00 = 72.11 g/mol (option F)

Propyl acetate = C5H10O2

⇒ 5*12.01 + 10*1.01 + 2*16.00 = 102.13 g/mol (option C)

4-methyl-2-pentanone = C6H12O

⇒ 6*12.01 + 12*1.01 + 16.00 = 100.16 g/mol (option D)

Butyl acetate = C6H12O2

⇒ 6*12.01 + 12*1.01 + 2*16.00 = 116.16 g/mol (option B)

Methanol = CH3OH = CH4O

⇒ 12.01 + 4*1.01 + 16.00 = 32.04 g/mol (option E)

Ethanol = C2H5OH = C2H6O

⇒ 2*12.01 + 6*1.01 + 16.00 = 46.07 g/mol (option A)
