Explanation of Solution
The molar mass and given mass of sucrose is 342.01 g/mol and 17.1 g respectively. The number of moles is calculated as follows:
Substitute given mass and molar mass in the formula.
Therefore, the number of moles of sucrose is 0.049 mol.

(h)
Interpretation:
The percent yield of ethanol if 1.25 g of ethanol formed in part (g) should be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
The amount that is predicted by the calculation of stoichiometry of the reaction is known as theoretical yield. The amount that is produced by a product in a reaction is known as the actual yield. The ratio of actual yield to the theoretical yield is called percentage yield of a reaction.
Answer to Problem 5.103P
The percent yield of ethanol if 1.25 g of ethanol formed in part (g) is 13.86%.
Explanation of Solution
The theoretical yield and actual yield of ethanol is 9.02 g and 1.25 g respectively.
The percentage yield for the reaction is calculated as follows:
Substitute observed and theoretical yield in the above formula.
Therefore, the percent yield of ethanol if 1.25 g of ethanol formed in part (g) is 13.86%.
