of ethyl butyrate would be synthesized by 8.10 g of butanoic acid and excess ethanol.
Further Explanation:
Stoichiometry:
It is used to determine the amount of species present in the reaction by the relationship between reactants and products. It is used to determine the moles of a chemical species when moles of other chemical species present in the reaction is given.
Consider the general reaction,
Here,
A is the reactant.
B is the reactant.
C is the product.
One mole of A reacts with two moles of B to produce three moles of C. The stoichiometric ratio between A and B is 1:2, the stoichiometric ratio between A and C is 1:3 and the stoichiometric ratio between B and C is 2:3.
The given reaction occurs as follows:
The formula to calculate the moles of is as follows:
...... (1)
Substitute 8.10 g for the given mass of and 88.11 g/mol for the molar mass of in equation (1).
According to the stoichiometry of the reaction, one mole of reacts with one mole of to form one mole of and one mole of . So the number of moles of produced by 0.0919 moles of are also 0.0919 mol.
The formula to calculate the mass of is as follows:
...... (2)
Substitute 0.0919 mol for the moles of and 116.16 g/mol for the molar mass of in equation (2).
Since the yield is 100 %, so the amount of ethyl butyrate produced is 10.675 g.
