    The equivalence point is around 8 pH which lines up to a volume added of 22mL. 22mL is the amount of sodium hydroxide added against acetic acid. As always, write out a balanced equation for this reaction. Then, you can calculate the number of moles of NaOH which is 0.022L x 0.15 mol/L =...

    Question 8: Ethanol and methanoic acid will reflux to produce ethyl methanoate (an ester). You should first write out an equation for this Determine the number of moles of both ethanol and methanoic acid. This can be done by using n = m/MM n(ethanol) = 3.50g / 46.068 g/mol = 0.07597 mol...
