Chapter 6, Problem 6.2P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The conversion of A to B is to be classified as a substitution, elimination, or addition reaction.

Concept introduction: The substitution reactions involve the substitution or replacement of an atom or group of atoms in a compound by another atom or groups of atoms. In the substitution reactions, the replacement takes place by the break down of sigma bonds.

In elimination reaction, the formation of π bonds occurs due to the removal of an atom or group of atoms from the starting material, whereas the addition reaction involves the addition of elements into the starting material.

Ethyl butyrate, CH3CH2CH2CO2CH2CH3CH3CH2CH2CO2CH2CH3, is an artificial fruit flavor commonly used in the food industry for such flavors as orange and pineapple.  Its fragrance and taste are often associated with fresh orange juice, and thus it is most commonly used as orange flavoring. It can be produced by the reaction of butanoic acid with ethanol in the presence of an acid catalyst (H+H+): CH3CH2CH2CO2H(l)+CH2CH3OH(l)H+⟶CH3CH2CH2CO2CH2CH3(l)+H2O(l) Part A Given 7.30 gg of butanoic acid and excess ethanol, how many grams of ethyl butyrate would be synthesized, assuming a complete 100%% yield? Express your answer in grams to three significant figures.   Part B A chemist ran the reaction and obtained 5.95 gg  of ethyl butyrate. What was the percent yield? Express your answer as a percent to three significant figures.   Part C The chemist discovers a more efficient catalyst that can produce ethyl butyrate with a 78.0%% yield. How many grams would be produced from 7.30 gg of…
