1) During this distillation experiment, a student collects a 10.00 mL fraction consisting of 70% ethyl acetate and 30% n-butyl acetate (by volume). What is the mole fraction of n-butyl acetate in this sample?
2) Suppose you used a shorter distilling column in this fractional distillation experiment. Would you expect to obtain a better or worse separation between the two esters explain your answer.
