You have 0.4mL of acetic acid and 0.4mL of isoamyl alcohol for the experiment. Which is the limiting reactant?

Solutions

Expert Solution

acetic acid mass = volume x density

= 0.4 ml x 1.05 g/ml

= 0.42 g

acetic acid moles = mass / Molar mass of acetic acid

= 0.42 g / ( 60.05 g/mol) = 0.007

isoamyl alcohol mass = vol x density

= 0.4 ml x 0.81 g/ml =0.324 g

isoamyl alcohol moles = mass / molar mass of it

= 0.324 g / 88 g/mol

= 0.0037

acetic acid and isoamyl alcohol react in 1:1 ratio

since relatively isoamyl alcohol is less the liming reagent is isoamyl alcohol

( densities and molar mass values taken from web)

A student decides to synthesize 3-methylbutene by an acid catalyzed dehydration of isoamyl alcohol. On heating, instead of collecting a liquid with a boiling point of 20 degrees celcius as expected, the student instead collects a liquid which boils at 100 degrees celsius, followed by another which boils at 173 degrees celsius. When added to an aqueous solution of Br2, neither liquid turns the solution clear. Explain in detail what went wrong, and identify the two products of the student's...

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).
