Question

What would the % yield of ester be if the reaction were simply allowed to equilibrate (i.e. no products are removed)?

C3H7OH+C2H5COOH=C6H12O2+H2O

Percent yield of ester was 71.6%

weight of product= 20.7868g

19.0mL (0.25mol) of n- propanol

18.5 mL (0.25 mol) of propionic acid

At room temperature, the equilibrium constant, Keq is approximately 3.
