The given reaction is,
And ester has the following general formula:
Therefore, water that is removed in the reaction below and draw the ester which results
(b)
Interpretation: The name of each of the compounds in the reaction needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction: Esters: A carboxylic acid reacts with an alcohol to form an ester and a
water molecule.
(b)
Answer to Problem 4RQ
Propanoic acid, methanol and ethyl methanoate.
Explanation of Solution
In the given reaction, acid and alcohol are reacting to form an ester.
The number of C atoms in acid is 3 thus, it is a propanoic acid. The number of C atoms in alcohol is 1 thus, it is methanol. The number of C atoms formed in ester is 4 and it is formed after the removal of OH group from acid and H group from alcohol. The resultant ester will be ethyl methanoate.
