Bethan prepared some ethoxyethane (line 6) by reacting ethanol with concentrated sulfuric acid. She used 69g of ethanol (Mr=46) and obtained a 45% yield of ethoxyethane (Mr=74). Calculate the mass of ethoxyethane obtained.

Equation from line 6 is: 2 (ethanol) -------> 1 (ethoxyethane) 2. The ratio of reaction is 2:1. This is the ratio of moles not mass , i.e., 2 moles of ethanol give 1 mole of ethoxyethane. 3. We need to kn...
