Question

Consider the following organic compounds
HCHO, C2H5OH, C2H6, CH3COOH, C2H5CI
Choose two compounds which can react in the presence of conc. H2SO4 to form an ester. Give the name and formula of the ester formed.

Answer 1

$CH_{3} COOH$ (ethanoic acid) and $C_{2}H_{5}OH$ (ethanol) are the compounds which gives ester.

Explanation:

$CH_{3} COOH$ (ethanoic acid) and $C_{2}H_{5}OH$ (ethanol) are organic compounds that react chemically in the presence of concentrated sulphuric acid to form a mild aromatic ester and have the formula $CH_{3} -COO-CH_{2} -CH_{3} .$

The chemical reaction is as follows below

$C_{2}H_{5}OH + CH_{3} COOH + conc. H_{2}SO_{4} -> CH_{3} COOC_{2}H_{5} + H_{2}O$
