What can cause a low percent yield? In lab we did fischer esterification using benzoic acid and methanol to yield methyl benzoate. 3.05 grams of benzoic acid were used and 1.10 grams of methyl benzoate were produced. We also washed the product multiple times with water, 10% sodium bicarbonate solution, then saturated sodium chloride solution. Could the washing cause a low percent yield? If so, can you explain why?
Homework Answers
Usually, percent yield is lower than 100% because the actual yield is often less than the theoretical value. Reasons for this can include incomplete or competing reactions and loss of sample during recovery. ... This can happen when other reactions were occurring that also formed the product.
In the case of esterification, when we were doing the washing the impurities from the compound were removed which cause an decrease in weight of product as many time we will do washing some how weight will decrease it cause an decrease in yield but an increase in purity

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.)

This is a Fischer Esterification using the alcohol, methanol,
and the carboxylic acid, butyric acid, to create the ester, methyl
butanoate (smells like apple). After refluxing methanol, butyric
acid, and concentrated sulfuric acid, a separatory flask was used
and the ester was extracted using ice water, then diethyl ether,
then 2 portions of sodium carbonate, and a saturated sodium
chloride brine solution. Anyhydrous sodium sulfate was used after
separation to dry the ester. Please help!!

We used the technique of extraction in this lab. After extraction, what was left in solution? Why is it acceptable for those chemicals to be left to sit for a week? Think about the possible reactions that would or would not occur during the week? In our extraction, we used NaCl solution. Why did we choose to use that vs. water? In this experiment, we did a Fischer Esterification using excess acetic acid, isopentyl alcohol, and sulfuric acid to form...
