Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The condensed formula of the product of the reaction of ethylene glycol with stearic acid has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Preparation of Esters:
Esters are prepared from the reaction of carboxylic acid and an alcohol, with a loss of water molecule. Esterification is a condensation reaction because a molecule of water is removed during the reaction.
The general preparation of esters is shown below,
Condensed formula: Condensed formula shows the arrangement of atoms in grouped form.
(b)
Interpretation:
The condensed formula of the product of the esterification reaction of oxalic acid with ethanol has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(c)
Interpretation:
The condensed formula of the product of the esterification reaction of 1-butanol with propanoic acid has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
