isopentyl alcohol- quantity: 1.16 g molar mass (g/mol): 88.15

acetic acid- quantity: 1.5 mL molar mass: 60.05

crude isopentyl acetate: 0.3 g

purified isopentyl acetate: 0.02g

molar mass isopentyl acetate: 130.19

and c) also suggest some reasons why a 100% yield of isopentyl acetate may not have been obtained.

Would appreciate steps. Thank you
