convert grams acetic acid to mole acetic acid then to mole isopentyl acetate then to grams...
In the experiment of synthesizing isopentyl acetate by reacting an excess of acetic acid with Isopentyl alcohol and using sulfuric acid as the catalyst, what was the purpose of doing a distillation after heating under reflux for an hour?
If the yield from the reaction of acetic acid with isopentyl alcohol is 45%, how many grams of isopentyl acetate are formed from 3.58 g of acetic acid and 4.70 g of isopentyl alcohol? The reaction is: CH3CO2H+C5H12O→C7H14O2+H2O Express your answer using two significant figures.
In Synthesis of Isopentyl Acetate experiment, how was the acetic acid and sulfuric acid neutralized after reflux has been completed? Write two separate balanced chemical equations that show how each acid was neutralized in this experiment. Isopentyl alcohol + acetic acid -> isopentyl acetate + water The reaction is treated with concentrated Sulfuric acid
my actual yield of banana pil is 0.297 need theorticla tield and percnet yield use isopentyl alcohol 150 ml of alcohol 17 ml acetic acid Iml concentrated sulfuric acid 2 or 3 boiling base in a fiat bottom flask 17.64 gr banana oil need percent yield and theoretical yield of banana oil You need to calculate it with isopentyl alcohol no acetic acid. Then convert mmols to moles, so you just need divide the mmmols by 1000, after that since...
1. The reaction mixture contains isopentyl acetate, isopentyl alcohol, water, acetic acid and sulfuric acid. a) Why is the reaction mixture extracted with sodium bicarbonate? In other words, what two substances does sodium bicarbonate react with in the reaction mixture and why are these reactions useful? (4 pts) b) Write a balanced chemical equation for each reaction involving sodium bicarbonate. c) When the reaction mixture is extracted with sodium bicarbonate solution, what substances will be in the aqueous layer? What...
Assume you are doing an experiment on the esterification of isopentyl acetate using 1mL of isopentyl alcohol and 1.5mL of acetic acid. Assuming complete reaction, calculate the amount of acetic acid left in the post-reaction mixture at the end of reflux Calculate the amount of 5% aq sodium bicarbonate needed to neutralize the unreacted acetic acid
If 4.46 g of acetic acid and 2.19 g of isopentyl alcohol are used in the reaction, what is the limiting reagent? What is the theoretical yield? What is the percent yield if 2.50 g of isopentyl acetate are obtained? (please show all calculations!!!)
In this experiment, we did a Fischer Esterification using excess acetic acid, isopentyl alcohol, and sulfuric acid to form isopentyl acetate. Then sodium bicarbonate and NaCl were used in the extraction step of the experiment. Is there another method we could have used to calculate percent yield other than using the amount of isopentyl acetate? What are the advantages and disadvantages? (Using GC is not the answer we are looking for.)
For esterification (synthesis of isopentyl acetate), which can form an alkene in strongly acidic conditions? Please explain why/the process of it becoming an alkene. a) acetic acid b) acetic anhydride c) water d) isopentyl acetate e) isopentyl alcohol
Please provide the mechanism for the reaction of isopentyl alcohol with acetic anhydride to form isopentyl acetate.
