State the preparation of isobutyl propionate

Reference no: EM13171937

1. In "Understanding the Experiment" section, it was stated that the reaction of an equimolar mixture of isopentyl alcohol and acetic acid will produce, at most, 67% of the theoretical amount of isopentyl acetate. Verify this with an equilibrium constant calculation, using Keq = 4.2

2. Based on the procedure that you used in this experiment and using the same molar quantaties of reactants, develop a procedure that would be suitable for the preparation of isobutyl propionate. Specify the amounts of all materials required and a distillation range for the product. You ma obtain the necessary physical properties from reference books listed in the bibliography or from any other source you would like. You must reference your source for the boiling point, etc.
