Hey guys, in atom economy we do use the excess moles of the theoretical yield? plus how do we identify which one of the two reactants are in excess. Is it the one with a greater number of moles?
Example Question: When 5.00g of ethanol reacts with 8.00g of ethanoic acid, 7.12g of ethyl ethanoate is produced. Whats the percentage yield?
How would y'all go about working this one out (what i really want to know is how to identify the excess reactant)
If you haven't already gussed, this is chemistry
