(a)
Interpretation:
The ester formed on treating 2-propanol with CH3CH2COOH in the presence of H2SO4 should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The reaction which results in the formation of at least one ester along with water on heating acids with alcohols is said to be esterification.
Answer to Problem 56P
Explanation of Solution
The reaction which results in the formation of at least one ester along with water on heating acids with alcohols is said to be esterification.
