Use the Data provide below to answer question 1, 2 and 3:

A Student is tasked with synthesizing butyl propanoate.

The volume of butanol used: 4.60 ml

The volume of propionic acid used: 7.50 ml

Weight of butyl propanoate submitted: Vial with product - Empty Vial

  14.727 g - 14.106 g = 0.621 g

1. Based on the information above, calculate the theoretical yield in grams (Show work for full credit):     

2. Calculate the overall percent yield, based on the information provided (show work: Show your complete percent yield calculation below. Clearly identify the limiting reagent. Watch significant figures).

3. A student submitted their synthesized ester with a boing point of 120o-130o C.

Based only on the observed boiling point (or range), was the compound obtained the specific ester you attempted to synthesize? Explain.
