Question

I need to make and calculate a theoretical yield for my lab. It has been a while since I've taken a chemistry course, and I'm really rusty on how to put it together and make sure it's balanced. Please help.

One of the most general methods for the preparation of esters is an acid-catalyzed esterification (Equation1). This reaction is an equilibrium process (the reverse reaction is ester hydrolysis), and product formation can be favored by increasing the concentration of one of the reactants and/or by removal of the water formed H30+ Lo +H2O Fischer Esterification R OH R OR H2SO4 banana oil synthesis + HO OH isoamyl alcohol (isopentyl alcohol) isoamyl acetate (isopentyl acetate) acetic acid
