Twenty‑five point zero grams of 2‑butanol (\(\text{C}_4\text{H}_{10}\text{O}\)) are oxidised with excess potassium dichromate in acidic medium to give butan‑2‑one. The balanced redox equation is \(3\,\text{C}_4\text{H}_{10}\text{O} + \text{K}_2\text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7 + 4\,\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \rightarrow 3\,\text{C}_4\text{H}_8\text{O} + \text{K}_2\text{SO}_4 + \text{Cr}_2(\text{SO}_4)_3 + 7\,\text{H}_2\text{O}\). Determine the theoretical mass of butan‑2‑one produced and, if the actual yield is \(78\%\), the mass actually obtained.

Answer Options

A. 22.5 g (theoretical), 17.6 g (actual)
