The reaction of acetic acid with isopentyl alcohol is

CH3COOH + C5H12O  ---> C7H14O2  + H2O

Thus one mole of acetic acid reacts with one mole of isopentyl alcohol to give one mole isopentyl acetate

Molar mass of acetic acid = 60.05 g / mole

Moles of acetic acid used = Mass used  / Molar mass = 1.87/ 60.05 = 0.0311

Molar mass of isopentyl alcohol = 88.15 g / mole

Moles of isopentyl alcohol = Mass / Molar mass = 2.31 / 88.15 = 0.0262

Molar mass of isopentyl acetate = 130.19 g / mole

Moles of isopentyl acetate = 3.20 / 130.19 = 0.0246

As per equation 0.0262  should of isopentyl alcohol should react with 0.0262 moles of acetic acid to give 0.0262 isopentyl acetate

Thus theoretical yield = 0.0262 moles

Actual yield = 0.0246

% yield = Actual yield X 100 / theoretical yield = 0.0246 X 100 / 0.0262 = 93.89%

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

In the 1800s, a popular belief known as vitalism stated that life processes could not be explained by the laws of physics and chemistry,and were instead dictated by an independent life force. Which discovery most likely caused scientists to revise this hypothesis regarding the origin of life on Earth?

a. that inorganic compounds existed within live organisms

b. that organic compounds could be synthesized in a laboratory

c. that RNA could serve as a template to synthesize DNA

d. that self-replicating molecules existed inside cells

Answer:

b. that organic compounds could be synthesized in a laboratory

Explanation:

Vitalism is the belief that "living organisms are fundamentally different from non-living entities because they contain some non-physical element or are governed by different principles than are inanimate things"(wikipedia).

This theory held that the molecules involved in life processes could not be synthesized in the laboratory.

All these were upturned after Fredrich Whöler's synthesis of urea in 1828. He was able to show that molecules involved in life process can also be synthesized in the laboratory. This gave rise to modern synthetic organic chemistry.

There is an error in the rate-determining step of the following proposed mechanism.
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

The steps with correct mechanism are given below:

C

1) CH₄(g) + Cl(g) → CH₃(g) + HCl(g) : This is a slow step.

The rate is given as: R1 = k₁[CH₄][Cl]  

2) CH₃(g) + Cl₂(g) → CH₃Cl(g) + Cl(g): This is a fast step.

The rate is given as: Rate = k₂[CH₃][Cl₂]  

∴ CH₄(g) + Cl₂(g) → CH₃Cl(g) + HCl(g)

Here, the slowest step will be the rate-determining step.

Solutions of aluminum nitrate and sodium sulfate react to form sodium nitrate and aluminum sulfate. Classify this reaction.
Temka [501]
C is the correct answer. Double displacement reaction, also called as metathesis, is a type of reaction wherein two compounds react to form new compounds. This case the cations and the anions of the reactants replace each other forming the new compounds.

Four moles of Argon gas are at a pressure of 1.90 atm, and the temperature is 50 degrees C. What is the volume of the gas?
soldier1979 [14.2K]
N = 4 moles of Ar2, P = 1.90 atm, V = ?
T = 50C = 273 + 50K = 323K
PV = nRT --> V = nRT/P
V = (4)(.0821)(323)/1.90
V = 106.07/ 1.9
V = 55.8 L
