Question

In the Methyl Cinnamate reaction, if you started with 2.0g Cinnamic Acid, how many milliliters of methanol would be required to react with it in a one-to-one molar relationship? (density of methanol: 0.792 g/mL)

Answer 1

CH=CH Coon -CH=CH COOCH h + CH₂OH usor trans methanol innanise and methyl ernamate mole ratio 1 1 Number of moles of unnanue and= Amount of cinnamic acid mw of cinnanut aid = 28 = 0.0135 moles 148-16 g/mole Required moles of methanol = 0.0135 Amount of methand required = No. of wales required x mw of methanol = 0.0135 mole X 32.04 guole = 0.433 g volume of required methanol = Amount required density of methanol - 0.4339 ost = 0.547 mL J. 1928/mL
