Question

If 2.98 g of acetic acid reacts with 3.08 g of isopentyl alcohol to give 1.98 g of isopentyl acetate, what is the percent yield of the reaction?

     CH3COOH  +  C5H12O  →  C7H14O2  +  H2O

Expert Solution
Step 1

1- First calculate the moles of Acetic acid and isopentyl alcohol : 

a) moles of Acetic acid = ( mass / molar mass) 

moles of Acetic acid = ( 2.98g / 60.1gmol-1 ) 

moles of Acetic acid = 0.050 mol 

 

b) moles of isopentyl alcohol = ( 3.08g / 88.15gmol-1 ) 

moles of isopentyl alcohol = 0.035 mol
