Determine the theoretical yield in mL when 1.5 mL of3,3-dimethyl-2-butanol and 7 drops of H2SO4 (conc) are heatedtogether at 70 degrees C. The product will have a molecular weightof 84.16 g/mol and a density of .68 g/mL.

theoritical yield = n moles of starting material * molecular wieht of product

=> strarting material moles n = weight (v *d) / molecular weight

                                           = (1.5 * 0.812) / 102.18

                                          = 1.218/ 102.18

                                         = 0.0119 moles

t.y = 0.0119 * 84.16

    = 1.00 g
