Question: ( ii ) Ascertain whether 1 - bromobutane or sodium ethoxide is the limiting reagent ( iii ) Calculate the theoretical yield ( iv )

(ii) Ascertain whether 1-bromobutane or sodium ethoxide is the limiting reagent
(iii) Calculate the theoretical yield
(iv) If you synthesized 2.44g of 1-ethoxybutane, calculate your percent yield 1) You plan to carry out the synthesis of 1-ethoxybutane by reacting 4.25 of 1-bromobutane with 3.70 g of sodium ethoxide, using 15 of anhydrous ethanol as solvent. In addition to 1-ethoxybutane, sodium bromide will be a side product. Using one online sources such as the Sigma -Aldrich or Acros Organics websites, look up the molar masses for all the reagents and products in this reactionAlso look up the melting points/boiling points and densities of the appropriate reagents and products. Make a table of the reagents/reactants and products in the reactions!!! Your tabulated answers should include both the molar masses , grams used, moles , and the physical properties for all reagents and products.
 (ii) Ascertain whether 1-bromobutane or sodium ethoxide is the limiting reagent
