When 41.5 grams butene (C4H8, M=56 g/mol) reacts with m-CPBA (C7H5C1O3), we expect 0.74 moles of poxybutane (C4H80, M = 72 g/mol) and some amount of m-chlorobenzoic acid (CIC7H5CO₂) to form.

Question
When 41.5 grams butene (C4H8, M = 56 g/mol) reacts with m-CPBA (C7H5C1O3), we expect 0.74 moles of
epoxybutane (C4H8O, M = 72 g/mol) and some amount of m-chlorobenzoic acid (CIC7H5CO₂) to form. The chemical
equation for this reaction is: C4H8 + C7H5C1O3 → C4H8O + ClC7H5O2.
a.
b.
If you did this experiment in a lab and obtained 39 g of epoxybutane, what would be the percent yield?
If instead you had started with 0.34 moles of butene, what is the minimum amount of m-CPBA (in moles)
required to completely consume the butene?
