The name of the experiment is Preparation of Synthetic Bananaoil. The name of the author of the book is John Lehma. chapter5.
(incase needed, we used 20.o mmol of isopentyl and 40 mmol ofglacial acetic acid)
In the ''understanding experiment'' section, it was stated thatthe reaction of an equimolar mixture of isopentyl alcohol andacetic acid will produce, at most, 67% of the theoretical amount ofisopentyl acetate. verify this with an equilibrium constantcalculation, using K = 4.2 . b) compare this with the correspondingpercentage for the conditions used in this experiment (see exercise1 ) Please explain well.
Exercise 1 is also found in the book, however the ammount ofchemicals used in the experiment are stated above. Thank you.
