Gce Model Questions Vol1 2021 Chemistry Question 2
Practice objective / multiple choice question 2 from the 2021 Gce Model Questions Vol1 Chemistry examination.
In the esterification of 2‑butanol with acetic acid catalysed by \(\mathrm{H_2SO_4}\), the reaction is: \(\mathrm{C_4H_9OH + CH_3COOH \rightleftharpoons C_4H_9OCOCH_3 + H_2O}\). Initially \(0.10\ \text{mol}\) of 2‑butanol and \(0.12\ \text{mol}\) of acetic acid are placed in a \(1.0\ \text{L}\) flask. At \(25\ ^\circ\text{C}\) the equilibrium constant \(K_c\) for the reaction is 4.0. Assuming ideal behaviour, calculate (a) the equilibrium amount of butyl acetate formed (in moles) and (b) the percentage yield based on the limiting reagent.
