    Answer is: 9.69 grams of ethyl butyrate would be synthesized.

    Chemical reaction: C₃H₇COOH + C₂H₅OH → C₃H₇COOC₂H₅ + H₂O.

    m (C₃H₇COOH) = 7.35 g; mass of butanoic acid.

    n (C₃H₇COOH) = m (C₃H₇COOH) : M (C₃H₇COOH).

    n (C₃H₇COOH) = 7.35 g : 88.11 g/mol.

    n (C₃H₇COOH) = 0.0834 mol; amount of butanoic acid.

    From chemical reaction: n (C₃H₇COOH) : n (C₃H₇COOC₂H₅) = 1 : 1.

    n (C₃H₇COOC₂H₅) = 0.0834 mol; amount of ethyl butyrate.

    m (C₃H₇COOC₂H₅) = n (C₃H₇COOC₂H₅) · M (C₃H₇COOC₂H₅).

    M (C₃H₇COOC₂H₅) = 6·Ar (C) + 2·Ar (O) + 12·Ar (H) · g/mol.

    M (C₃H₇COOC₂H₅) = 6·12.01 + 2·15.99 + 12·1.01 · g/mol.

    M (C₃H₇COOC₂H₅) = 116.16 g/mol; molar mass of ethyl butyrate.

    m (C₃H₇COOC₂H₅) = 0.0834 mol · 116.16 g/mol.

    m (C₃H₇COOC₂H₅) = 9.69 g.
