Based on the use of 1.150 mol of isopentyl alcohol and 0.300 mol of acetic acid and an equilibrium constant value of 4.2. Estimate the mass of isopentyl acetate lost 1) due to incomplete reaction, 2) during the washing step, and 3) during the distillation. (Assume the solubility of the ester in aqueous sodium bicarbonate is equal to that in water, 0.25 g/100 mL).

Fischer Esterification Acetic Acid + Ethanol in the presence of Dowex, a solid catalyst. 4 samples were placed in 4 tubes, heated in a water bath. Test tube 4 was left in the water bath overnight. When testing sample #4 with GC and NMR, one product was expected - the ester, ethyl acetate. However a small portion of acetic acid was present. I understand acetic acid is often used in excess (La Chat) but the ethanol was in equal ratio...

In the solution containing both 0.10 M acetic acid and 0.10 M sodium acetate, the acetic acid undergoes ionization. The chemical equation for this ionization reaction is the same as for a solution containing acetic acid alone. The difference is that the initial concentration of acetate ion (before any ionization reaction occurs) for the solution containing acetic acid alone is zero, whereas the initial concentration of acetate ion is 0.10 M in your solution containing both acetic acid and sodium...
