Answer:
It could be B or C eighter one
<u>Answer:</u> The amount of energy absorbed by water is 5390 Calories
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the amount of heat absorbed at normal boiling point, we use the equation:
where,
q = amount of heat absorbed = ?
m = mass of water = 10 grams
= latent heat of vaporization = 539 Cal/g
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the amount of energy absorbed by water is 5390 Calories
The equation for the reaction is:
C₄H₈O₂ + C₂H₅OH = C₆H₁₂O₂ + H₂O
Now you see that the number of the moles of butanoic acid
and etyl butyrate is equal in
the reaction. That means;
number of moles of C₄H₈O₂ = number of moles of C₆H₁₂O₂
mass of C₄H₈O₂/ Molar mass of C₄H₈O₂ = mass of C₆H₁₂O₂/ molar mass of C₆H₁₂O₂
mass of C₆H₁₂O₂ = molar mass of C₆H₁₂O₂ x mass of C₄H₈O₂/ Molar mass of C₄H₈O₂
Now, assuming <span>100% yield, the mass
of ethyl butyrate produced is: </span>
<span>= 7.45/88.11 x 116.16</span>
<span>=9.82g</span>
<span>Thus, the theoretical yield of ethyl butyrate is 9.82g.</span>
Explanation:
Organic compounds are defined as the compounds which contain carbon as their main element. For example, 
is an organic compound.
Generally, organic compounds are non-polar in nature and due to the presence of covalent bonding organic compounds have low melting point.
As compound A melts at 
and is soluble in water. This means it is an ionic compound as it has high melting point and it is also polar in nature.
Whereas compound B melts at 
and is insoluble in water. This means that this compound has covalent bonding and it is also non-polar in nature
. Hence, it is more likely to be organic in nature.
Thus, we can conclude that compound B is more likely to be an organic
compound.
