If you ran the reaction for this experiment and began with 65.0 mmol of isopentyl alcohol, how many grams of isopentyl acetate could you theoretically produce assuming only a 77.0% attainable yield

Answer:

6.52g = Actual yield (g)

Explanation:

The yield of a reaction is:

Percent yield = Actual yield (g) / Theoretical Yield (g) * 100

As 1 mol of isopentyl alcohol produce 1 mol of isopentyl acetate (Theoretical Yield), the theroretical yield of isopentyl acetate is 65.0mmol = 0.0650mol. To solve this question we need to convert the moles of isopentyl acetate to mass using its molar mass (130.19g/mol).

With the equation of percent yield we can find the mass obtained as follows:

Theoretical yield:

0.0650mol * (130.19g/mol) = 8.46g of isopentyl alcohol

Mass produced:

77 = Actual yield (g) / 8.462g * 100

6.52g = Actual yield (g)

The mass of isopentyl acetate that can be produced is 6.52 g

From the balanced equation,

1 mole of isopentyl alcohol reacted to produce 1 mole of isopentyl acetate.

Therefore,

65 mmole (i.e 0.065 mole) of isopentyl alcohol will also react to produce 0.065 mole of isopentyl acetate.

How to determine the actual yield (in mole)

  • Percentage yield = 77%
  • Theoretical yield = 0.065 mole
  • Actual yield =?

Actual yield = percent × theoretical

Actual yield = 77% × 0.065

Actual yield = 0.05005 mole

How to determine the mass

  • Mole of isopentyl acetate = 0.05005 mole
  • Molar mass of isopentyl acetate = 130.19 g/mol
  • Mass of isopentyl acetate =?

Mass = mole × molar mass

Mass of isopentyl acetate = 0.05005 × 130.19

Mass of isopentyl acetate = 6.52 g
