give the structural formula of propanol and ethanoic acid
Answers
Answer:
The process which involves the formation of an ester (RCOOR') after mixing a carboxylic acid (RCOOH) with appropriate alcohol (R'OH) in an acidic medium
(H+)
is termed as esterification. This is the process carried out industrially to produce many carboxylic acid compounds.
Ethanoic acid reacts with 1-propanol in the existence of sulfuric acid followed by heating to produce an ester, propyl acetate, and water.
The corresponding reaction is:
Esterification reaction
In the corresponding reaction, both ethanoic acid and 1-propanol combine in an equimolar ratio. Therefore, the balanced chemical equation for the reaction between ethanoic acid with 1-propanol in a sulphuric acid medium is:
