Ba2+ and Cu2+, and Sr2+ and Li+
When two atoms are bonded together, the atom that is LEAST likely to attract electrons to itself is
the atom with the smallest electronegativity
The grams that would be produced from 7.70 g of butanoic acid and excess ethanol is 7.923grams
calculation
Step 1: write the chemical equation for the reaction
CH3CH2CH2COOH + CH3CH2OH → CH3CH2CH2COOCH2CH3 +H2O
step 2: find the moles of butanoic acid
moles= mass/ molar mass
= 7.70 g/ 88 g/mol=0.0875 moles
Step 3: use the mole ratio to determine the moles of ethyl butyrate
moles ratio of CH3CH2CH2COOH :CH3CH2CH2COOCH2CH3 is 1:1 therefore the moles of CH3CH2CH2COOCH2CH3 = 0.0875 x78/100=0.0683moles
step 4: find mass = moles x molar mass
= 0.0683 moles x116 g/mol=7.923grams
