An ionic compound is composed of a cation(a positive ion) and a anion(negative ion). When + and - interact with each other, the overall charge is neutral since neither of the ion outweighs the other in terms of positivity or negativity. Hence, the overall charge of an ionic compound is neutral.

Ethyl butyrate, CH3CH2CH2CO2CH2CH3, is an artificial fruit flavor commonly used in the food industry for such flavors as orange

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

A. 10.0 grams of ethyl butyrate would be synthesized.

B. 57.5% was the percent yield.

C. 7.80 grams of ethyl butyrate would be produced from 7.60 g of butanoic acid.

Explanation:

$CH_3CH_2CH_2CO_2H(l)+CH_2CH_3OH(l)+H^+\rightarrow CH_3CH_2CH_2CO_2CH_2CH_3(l)+H_2O(l)$

Moles of butanoic acid = $\frac{7.60 g}{88 g/mol}=0.08636 mol$

According to reaction ,1 mole of butanoic acid gives 1 mol of ethyl butyrate,then 0.08636 mol of butanoic acid will give :

$\frac{1}{1}\times 0.08636 mol=0.08636 mol$ of ethyl butyrate

Mass of 0.08636 moles of ethyl butyrate =

0.08636 mol × 116 g/mol = 10.0 g

Theoretical yield = 10.0 g

Experimental yield = ?

Percentage yield of the reaction = 100%

$Yield\%=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

$100\%=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{10.0 g}\times 100$

Experimental yield = 10.0 g

10.0 grams of ethyl butyrate would be synthesized.

Theoretical yield of ethyl butyrate = 10.0 g

Experimental yield ethyl butyrate = 5.75 g

Percentage yield of the reaction = ?

$Yield\%=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

$=\frac{5.75 g}{10.0 g}\times 100=57.5\%$

57.5% was the percent yield.

Moles of butanoic acid = $\frac{7.60 g}{88 g/mol}=0.08636 mol$

According to reaction ,1 mole of butanoic acid gives 1 mol of ethyl butyrate,then 0.08636 mol of butanoic acid will give :

$\frac{1}{1}\times 0.08636 mol=0.08636 mol$ of ethyl butyrate

Mass of 0.08636 moles of ethyl butyrate =

0.08636 mol × 116 g/mol = 10.0 g

Theoretical yield = 10.0 g

Experimental yield = ?

Percentage yield of the reaction = 78.0%

$Yield\%=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

$78.0\%=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{10.0 g}\times 100$

Experimental yield = 7.80 g

7.80 grams of ethyl butyrate would be produced from 7.60 g of butanoic acid.

Finding the pH for [H+] = 9.4 * 10-3 M?

saul85 [17]

Answer:

pH = 2.0

Explanation:

To find the pH of a solution, take the -log[H+]. In this case, the -log(9.4 x 10^-3) equals 2.02687 which makes 2.0 when accounting for significant figures.
