. What is the approximate mole ratio of 2,3-dimethyl-3-pentanol to 3-methyl-2-

butanone?

1 answer

To determine the mole ratio between 2,3-dimethyl-3-pentanol and 3-methyl-2-butanone, we need to compare the number of moles of each compound present.

The molecular formula for 2,3-dimethyl-3-pentanol is C7H16O and for 3-methyl-2-butanone, it is C5H10O.

To find the mole ratio, we need to compare the number of moles of each compound.

Mole ratio = Moles of 2,3-dimethyl-3-pentanol / Moles of 3-methyl-2-butanone

To determine the moles of each compound, we need to know the amount of each compound given in the question or experiment.

If the amounts of each compound are not given, it is not possible to calculate the mole ratio.
