1.) 1.87 g of acetic acid (vinegar, C2H4O2) reacts with 2.13 g of isopentyl alcohol (C5H12O) to yield isopentyl acetate (C7H14O2), a fragrant substance with the odor of bananas. The reaction is: C2H4O2  +  C5H12O  ⎯→  C7H14O2  +  H2O a.) Which are the limiting reactant (LR) and excess reactant (ER)? b.) How many grams of isopentyl acetate was formed? c.) How many grams of the excess reactant are left after the reaction is complete? d.) If 2.96 g of isopentyl acetate was produced, what is the % yield of the reaction?
