Expected Yield
C2H5CO2H(l) + C3H7OH (l) ---> C2H5COOC3H7(l) + H2O
When 18.5 mL of propanoic acid and 19.0 mL of n-propanol are mixed together, calculate the volume of water expected if the yield of the ester were 100%
Other Data:
Boiling point of 1-propyl propanoate - 122 degrees C
Volume of water collected - 3.31 mL
Weight of product (C2H5COOC3H7)- 7.4846 g
