4. Assume that an esterification reaction is done using 0.10 moles of a carboxylic acid and 1.0 moles of an alcohol. What is the theoretical yield (in moles) for the reaction? (You can write a generic esterification reaction to help answer this question and recognize the limiting reagent.) 5. A student completes the reaction described in question 4 and obtains 5.3 g of the product (the product has a molecular mass of 74.0 g/mol). a) What is the actual yield (the moles of product obtained)? Show your calculation, including units. 5.3 g product X mol products b) Calculate the % yield for the reaction. Show your calculation, including units.
