Gce Model Questions Vol1 2020 Chemistry Question 30
Practice objective / multiple choice question 30 from the 2020 Gce Model Questions Vol1 Chemistry examination.
A mixture contains \(0.050\ \text{mol}\) of 2‑butanol and \(0.030\ \text{mol}\) of acetic acid. They are allowed to react at \(25^{\circ}\text{C}\) in the presence of a catalytic amount of sulphuric acid. The esterification equilibrium constant is \(K = 4.0\times10^{-3}\) for the reaction\n\(\displaystyle \mathrm{CH_3CH_2CH(OH)CH_3 + CH_3COOH \rightleftharpoons CH_3COOCH_2CH_2CH_2CH_3 + H_2O}.\)\nCalculate the maximum amount (in moles and grams) of butyl acetate that can be formed at equilibrium and state which reactant remains the limiting reagent after equilibrium is reached. (Molar mass of butyl acetate = 116.16 g·mol⁻¹).
