Chapter 8, Problem 72E
The combustion of liquid ethanol (C2H5OH) produces carbon dioxide and water. After 4.62 mL of ethanol (density = 0.789 g/mL) burns in the presence of 15.55 g of oxygen gas, 3.72 mL of water (density = 1.00 g/mL) is collected. Determine the limiting reactant, theoretical yield of H2O, and percent yield for the reaction. (Hint.Write a balanced equation for the combustion of ethanol.)
