Part A: Given 8.45 g of butanoic acid and excess ethanol, how many grams of ethyl butyrate would be synthesized, assuming a complete 100 % yield?
Part B: A chemist ran the reaction and obtained 5.25 g of ethyl butyrate. What was the percent yield?
Part C: The chemist discovers a more efficient catalysts that can produce ethyl butyrate with a 78 % yield. How many grams would be produced from 8.45 g of butanoic acid and excess ethanol?
