The chemical carboxylic acid is used by some chemists to make up medicines and creams to give to their patients. Some doctors will use it for their patients as well.

What is the structure of methyl butyrate and give the of the alcohol and the carboxylic acid nedded to synthesize this ester?

The structure of methyl butyrate is CH3(CH2)2COOCH3. To synthesize this ester, you need butanoic acid (CH3(CH2)2COOH) as the carboxylic acid and methanol (CH3OH) as the alcohol. The reaction between butanoic acid and methanol in the presence of an acid catalyst (such as sulfuric acid) forms methyl butyrate and water.


How do you differentiate experimentally between alcohol and carboxylic acid?

Alcohols are soluble in water (the longer the carbon chain the less soluble it will be) Carboxylic acids are insoluble in water. Hope this helps


The alcohol and carboxylic acid required to form propyl ethanoate are?

To form propyl ethanoate, you need propanol (a three-carbon alcohol) and ethanoic acid (acetic acid). The reaction between propanol and ethanoic acid, in the presence of an acid catalyst like concentrated sulfuric acid, results in the formation of propyl ethanoate (ethyl propanoate) along with water.


Octyl formate has flavor oranges name the alcohol and the caborxylic acid needed to synthesis this ester?

To synthesize octyl formate, you would need octanol as the alcohol and formic acid as the carboxylic acid. The reaction between octanol and formic acid, catalyzed by an acid catalyst, would result in the formation of octyl formate along with water as a byproduct.


What reactants are needed to make ester methyl butanoate?

To make methyl butanoate, you would need methanol (CH3OH) and butanoic acid (C4H8O2) as the reactants. The reaction would be a condensation reaction between an alcohol (methanol) and a carboxylic acid (butanoic acid) catalyzed by an acid catalyst, such as sulfuric acid.


If 159.8 ml of carboxcylic acid is reacted with 83.4 ml of alcohol whici is the limiting reagent?

To determine the limiting reagent, you need to compare the amount of each reactant in terms of moles. Convert the volumes of carboxylic acid and alcohol to moles, using the molarity of each solution. Whichever reactant produces fewer moles is the limiting reagent.


Is stearic acid a monomer or polymer?

It wouldn't generally be considered as either a polymer or a monomer. Stearic acid is a long chain (18 carbons long) carboxylic acid (sometimes known as "fatty acid"). Therefore its molecules are not sufficiently long to be considered a polymer, and there is no functionality along the carbon chain to enable polymerisation to take place, therefore it would not be classed as a monomer either. Small molecules are only referred to as "monomers" in the context of their ability to link together with many other similar molecules to form polymers. Note that it is possible to create polymers using certain carboxylic acids, but they need to have two carboxyl groups (reaction of dicarboxylic acids with diols creates polyesters by a condensation reaction). Stearic acid only contains one carboxyl group.

How stearic acid convert into ethyl stearate?

Mix Ethanol with Stearic Acid, use Sulfuric Acid as catalyst. Sulfuric Acid can be pre-diluted into the Ethanol. Boil the mixture under reflux. may need to do a few times after each reaction cycle, to use water to wash out the access ethanol & reaction by-product = water. Then re do the same, mix ethanol+sulfuric acid into the partial reactants (Stearic acid + Ethyl stearate) to fully convert the Stearic acid into Ethyl stearate.
