An 8.8 g sample of 3-methylbutan-1-ol and 6.0of ethanoic acid were mixed in a flask and 2.0 of concentrated sulphuric acid were added. The mixture was refluxed for four hours and then fractionally distilled to give the crude ester. The ester was washed repeatedly with aqueous sodium carbonate, to remove anyacid present, until there was no more effervescence. The mixture was distilled and 7.8 g of pure ester were obtained.
How would you deduce the theoretical yield, in moles, of the ester CH3COOCH2CH2CH(CH3)2 ? It's only a 1 mark question!
and I'm stuck
