Neco Model Questions Vol1 2017 Chemistry Question 46
Practice objective / multiple choice question 46 from the 2017 Neco Model Questions Vol1 Chemistry examination.
An unknown monohydric alcohol with molecular formula \(\mathrm{C_nH_{2n+2}O}\) is burned completely. The oxidation product is a carboxylic acid which, when esterified with excess ethanol, gives an ester that boils at \(78^{\circ}\text{C}\). A 5.00 g sample of the alcohol is oxidised and the ester is obtained in 100 % yield. Identify the carbon number \(n\) of the alcohol and calculate the mass (in grams, to two decimal places) of the ester formed.
