Question

Consider this synthesis of isoamyl acetate based on this week's experimental methods, after refluxing the reaction mixture for 25 minutes, what is likely present in solution

Answer 1

acetic acid and phosphoric acid

Step-by-step explanation:

After refluxing the reaction mixture ( synthesis of isoamyl acetate ) what is likely present in the solution is acetic acid and phosphoric acid, this due to the fact that if the reaction time between the reactants was less than the refluxing time which is 25 minutes,

there will be no reactant ( 3-methylbutanol )left in the reaction mixture
