Hellpppppp!!!!! This freaki'n annoying hellish question!!! lol
The Answer is C I have no idea why can anyone please help with the working? or at least walk me through?? Oh @Kainui Pleaseeeeee help me (us) PLEASEEEEE!!!!
@Somy
come on, come on, come on, come on Somy xDD
lmao we don't know it though
u convert both in moles can u ?
yea we did
tell me the values
for the alcohol it's 0.652 for the Carboxylic acid is 0.5 for the ester is 0.25
in reactant can u tell me which is limiting reagent now ?
to be honest i.have.no.idea lol
is it carboxylic acid?
can you tell us how to figure out the limiting agent?
see in the reaction one mole of ethanol reacts with one mole of carboxylic acid but u have 0.625 alcohol and0.5 moles o caboxylic aci, mean all alcohol cant react with carboxylic there remains excess alcohol of 0.625-0.5= 0.125 compared to carboxylic acid here the limiting reagent is carboxylic acid
Oh ok thank you so now where do we start proceeding with the Mr value that we just calculated?
there are two ways to do that yield with respect to carboxylic acid if u do i.e for 0.5 moles of carboxylic acid in the reaction yiel only 0.25 moles of ester 100 moles of carboxylic acid =0.25*100/0.5 = another is based on the ethanol converted =0.25*100/0.652 =
Oooooohh ok thank you now I get it :)
thnxxx
ur welcome :)
