Chapter 10, Problem 14Q

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Structural formula of the ester formed by the reaction between acetic acid and n-propanol has to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Ester: One OR' group is attached to the carbonyl carbon atom of the compound. It is represented as RCOOR'.

Ester formation: Esters are prepared by the reaction of a carboxylic acid and an alcohol molecule with the elimination of water molecule. The addition of a strong acid such as H2SO4 is used to increase the rate of reaction.

Here, the OH group is attached to the carbonyl carbon atom of the carboxylic acid is being replaced by the OR' in the alcohol forming ester and water.

In chemistry, structure is the arrangement of chemical bonds between atoms in a molecule, specifically which atoms are chemically bonded to what other atoms with what kind of chemical bond.

In structural formula,

  • ✓  All of the atoms are shown at each end and intersection of bonds.
  • ✓  H atoms are shown
