The process in which an organic acid and an alcohol react to form an ester and water is known as esterification. Ethyl butanoate

(C3H7COOC2H5) an ester is formed when the alcohol ethanol (C2H5OH) and butanoic acid (C3H7COOH) are heated in the presence of sulfuric acid.C2H5OH(l) + C3H7COOH(l) C3H7COOC2H5(l) + H2O(l)Determine the mass of ethyl butanoate produced if 6.00 mol of ethanol is used.

Answer:

697 g

Explanation:

Ethanol (C₂H₅OH) and butanoic acid (C₃H₇COOH) react to form ethyl butanoate (C₃H₇COOC₂H₅) and water (H₂O).

C₂H₅OH + C₃H₇COOH → C₃H₇COOC₂H₅ + H₂O

The molar ratio of C₂H₅OH to C₃H₇COOC₂H₅ is 1:1. The moles of C₃H₇COOC₂H₅ produced from 6.00 moles of C₂H₅OH are:

6.00 mol C₂H₅OH × (1 mol C₃H₇COOC₂H₅/1 mol C₂H₅OH) = 6.00 mol C₃H₇COOC₂H₅

The molar mass of C₃H₇COOC₂H₅ is 116.16 g/mol. The mass corresponding to 6.00 mol is:

6.00 mol × (116.16 g/mol) = 697 g

What happens to a glass of water as the average molecular kinetic energy of the water molecules increases?
trasher [3.6K]
"The water becomes warmer."
<u>Remember</u>: Kinetic energy means how much, on average, a molecule is moving around. This is directly translated into heat. Therefore, the higher the kinetic energy, the more heat produced.

What is the enthalpy of combustion (per mole) of C4H10 (g)? 
Artemon [7]
The balanced chemical reaction for the complete combustion of C4H10 is shown below:

                    C4H10 + (3/2)O2 --> 4CO2 + 5H2O

The enthalpy of formation are listed below:
          C4H10: -2876.9 kJ/mol
              O2:   none (because it is pure substance)
             CO2: -393.5 kJ/mol
             H2O: -285.8 kJ/mol

The enthalpy of combustion is computed by subtracting the total enthalpy formation of the reactants from that of the products.

               ΔHc = (4)(-393.5 kJ/mol) + (5)(-285.8 kJ/mol) - (-2876.9 kJ/mol)
                       = -<em>126.1 kJ</em>

Thus, the enthalpy of combustion of the carbon is -126.1 kJ.
