Igcse Model Questions Vol1 2022 Chemistry Question 23
Practice objective / multiple choice question 23 from the 2022 Igcse Model Questions Vol1 Chemistry examination.
A student carries out the esterification reaction between acetic acid and ethanol: \[\text{CH}_3\text{COOH} + \text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{OH} \rightarrow \text{CH}_3\text{COO}\text{C}_2\text{H}_5 + \text{H}_2\text{O}\] The student uses 5.0 g of acetic acid and 4.0 g of ethanol. The reaction is 80 % efficient (actual yield). Given molar masses: acetic acid 60.05 g mol⁻¹, ethanol 46.07 g mol⁻¹, ethyl acetate 88.11 g mol⁻¹. Calculate the mass of ethyl acetate obtained.
