Reference no: EM13490840

You want to convert 5 mL of 3-methyl-2-butanol to 3-methyl-2-butene by an acid catalyzed dehydration. In order to finalize the experimental details, you look up the physical constants in the CRC Handbook and find the following data regarding boiling points and densities. 3-methyl-2-butanol : b.p. 114degreesC, density 0.818 g/mL 3-methyl-2-butene: b.p. 39degreesC, density 0.662 g/mL Answer the following questions pertaining to the planned experiment. a) What is your theoretical yield? (Show all calculations) i) in mols? ii) in grams? iii) in mL? b) What are other compounds that could possibly form that would decrease your % yield? c) How could you separate the product from the acid and any unreacted starting materials?
