What is the ester formed from acetic acid?
acetoester....
Write the chemical reactions involved in the esterification of acetic acid?
well acetic acid has the formula CH3COOH to form an ester the acetic acid will need to react with an alcohol. So for example if you have methanol CH3OH you would form an ester (esterification) and the ester would be methyl acetate. CH3COOCH3
What is the ester formed from benzyl alcohol and acetic acid?
benzyl acetate
What smell does the ester from n-amyl alcohol and acetic acid have?
banana
What products are formed in the reaction between glycerol and acetic acid?
ester

Draw the Carboxylic acid produced from the acid hydrolysis of butyl acetate?
It is the butyl ester of acetic acid so on hydrolysis it produces Acetic acid , CH3-COOH
What is the chemical reaction with 2-butanol and acetic acid?
2-butanol (sec-butanol) and acetic acid (ethanoic acid) will undergo condensation reaction. The hydroxy group on the butanol reacts with the carboxyl group on the acetic acid to form an ester, releasing water. The product is sec-butyl-ethanoate.
What is the ester formed from benzyl alcohol and acetic acid?
benzyl acetate
What smell does the ester from n-amyl alcohol and acetic acid have?
banana
What products are formed in the reaction between glycerol and acetic acid?
ester
Why acetic anhydride used instead of acetic acid to prepare aspirin?
The -OH in acetic acid is not a very good leaving group so converting it to an ester is more complicated unlike acetic anhydride which is easier to do so.
What ester is formed when acetic acid reacts with octyl alcohol?
It forms Octyl Acetate.
Ester formed between 1-octanol and glacial acetic acid?
Octyl Acetate
What is the general formula for ester?
ester is formed by the reactin alcohol with an acid .with the elimination of water.
Why is a large excess of acetic acid used in the preparation of isopentyl acetate?
Esterification of an acetic acid with isopentyl alcohol can can be used to prepare isopentyl acetate because the equilibria would not favor the formation of the ester, so equilibira will shift to the right IF we use excess amount of one of the reagents (acetic acid). We used large amounts of acetic acid because it's less expensive and it's easier to remove from a reaction mixture than isopropyl alcohol.
