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.You plan to carry out the synthesis of 1-ethoxybutane by reacting of 1-bromobutane with of sodium ethoxide, using 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 reaction. Also 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 reaction. Your tabulated answers should include both the molar masses, grams used, moles, and the physical properties for all reagents and products. (See page 3 in the syllabus for sample tabulated form of molecular weights, grams, moles, and physical properties of all reagents and products such as melting and/or boiling points, density, color).
