How much ester will you get with 50 g of propanoic acid?

We write down the equation of reactions.
CH3 – CH2 – COOH + CH3OH -> CH3 – CH2 – COOCH3 + H2O.
Find the amount of propanoic acid substance. For this we use the following formula.
n = m / M.
Where n is the amount of substance.
m is the mass of the substance.
M is the molar mass of the substance.
n = 50 g ÷ 74 g / mol = 0.676 mol.
We find by the reaction equation the amount of substance of the resulting ether.
0.676 mol of propanes. k – you – x mole of ether.
1 mole of propanes. to – you – 1 mole of ether.
n (ether) = 1 × 0.676 ÷ 1 = 0.676 mol.
We find the mass of the ether.
m = 0.676 mol × 88 g / mol = 59.5 g.
Answer: the mass of ether is 59.5 grams.
