A student misreads the lab manual and accidently adds 13.1 mL of isopentyl alcohol and 7.5 mL of acetic acid to their round-bottom flask. 1. Calculate the equivalency of both isopentyl alcohol and acetic acid. Be sure to show your work. а. After performing the experiment, this student obtains isopentyl acetate in a 57% yield. Using what you know about Fischer Esterification, explain why they obtained a lower percent yield. (Hint: Think conceptually; do not cite lab performance errors. b.
