Question: In this experiment, you need to determine the boiling point of the end product n-butyl acetate at laboratory atmospheric pressure. The literature value is provided

In this experiment, you need to determine the boiling point of the end product "n-butyl acetate" at laboratory atmospheric pressure. The literature value is provided at 760.0 torr. In order to confirm the purity of the product, you need to compare the literature and experimental boiling points at 760.0 torr. If the experimental B.P of the end product is found to be 125.4 at 747.8 torr, convert this value at 760.0 torr.

Hint:

Tcorr = Tobs + 0.00010(760-p)(Tobs + 273)

Where

Tcorr is the Boiling Point at 760 mm of Hg.

P is the actual pressure reading in mm of Hg

Tobs is the observed boiling point (in C)
