Answer:
See the explanations
Explanation:
In the Baeyer-Villiger reaction, we will produce an <u>ester from a ketone</u> (see the first reaction). In our case, the ketone is Acetophenone therefore <u>phenyl acetate</u> would be produced.
Now, for the mass calculation, we have to keep in mind that we have a reaction with a <u>1:1 ratio</u>. So, if we have 0.02 moles of acetophenone and 0.036 moles of m-CPBA the <u>limiting reagent</u> would be the smallest value in this case acetophenone.
Additionally, if we have a 1:1 ratio and the limiting reagent is 0.02 moles of acetophenone we will have as product 0.02 of phenyl acetate, if we take into account the <u>molar mass</u> of phenyl acetate (136.05 g/mol), we can do the final calculation:
