Consider the Fischer ester synthesis of methyl benzoate from benzoic acid and methanol in the presence of sulfuric acid as a cat

alyst. A reaction was performed in which 3.8 g of benzoic acid was reacted with excess methanol to make 2.0 g of methyl benzoate. Calculate the theoretical yield and percent yield for this reaction.

Answer:

48.8%

Explanation:

The reaction has a 1:1 mole ratio so;

Number of moles of benzoic acid reacted = mass/molar mass = 3.8 g/122.12 g/mol = 0.03 moles

So;

0.03 moles of methyl benzoate is formed in the reaction

Mass of methyl benzoate formed = 0.03 moles * 136.15 g/mol = 4.1 g

percent yield = actual yield/theoretical yield * 100/1

percent yield = 2.0 g/4.1 g * 100 = 48.8%

What causes water molecules to be attracted to each other?
Fiesta28 [93]
This polarity makes water molecules attracted to each other. The oxygen-hydrogen bond in the alcohol molecule is also polar. But, the carbon hydrogen bonds in the rest of the alcohol molecule are nonpolar. In these bonds, the electrons are shared more or less evenly.

Answer:

625 mL

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Volume of stock solution (V₁) = 250 mL

Molarity of stock solution (M₁) = 5 M

Molarity of diluted solution (M₂) = 2 M

Volume of diluted solution (V₂) =?

The volume of the diluted solution can be obtained by using the dilution formula as illustrated below:

M₁V₁ = M₂V₂

5 × 250 = 2 × V₂

1250 = 2 × V₂

Divide both side by 2

V₂ = 1250 / 2

V₂ = 625 mL

Therefore, the volume of the diluted solution is 625 mL.
