Consider the preparation of methyl benzoate by reacting benzoic acid with methanol using sulfuric acid as a catalyst. Reaction scheme of benzoic acid with methanol, conc. sulfuric acid, and heat over the arrow, and methyl benzoate and water as products. Calculate the molar masses of the reactant and product. Report molar masses to 1 decimal place. Molar mass of benzoic acid g/mol Molar mass of methyl benzoate

See explanation

Explanation:

The molecular mass is the sum of the relative atomic masses of all the atoms in the molecule.

The relative atomic mass of reactants and products are calculated as follows;

Benzoic acid is C7H6O2 hence the molar mass of benzoic acid is ;

7(12) + 6(1) + 2(16) = 84 + 6 + 32 = 122.0 g/mol

Methyl benzoate is C8H8O2

8(12) + 8(1) + 2(16) = 96 + 8 + 32 = 136.0 g/mol

> b takes place in the gas phase in an isothermal tubular reactor. the feed is one mole of a per one mole of c, an inert. the entering temperature and pressure are 427°c and 10 atm, respectively. the gas constant r = 0.08206 atm · l/mol · k.

the right answer is c i just did the question.
