Since esters no longer have a hydrogen atom bonded to the oxygen as a carboxylic acid does, they are not able to hydrogen bond. This means intermolecular forces are much weaker and they boil at lower temperatures.
The boiling point of Nitric Acid is 121 degree celsius.
Hydrocarbon < ether < alcohol < carboxylic acid
Well, I think, if you use a Dean-Strark apparatus, you will be able to get the ester. If the boiling point of ester is more than that of water, then on refluxing, water will collect in the side tube.
This is acetic acid wth a boiling point of cca. 118 0C.
158 oC
245 degrees Fahrenheit :)

Aspirin is acetylsalicylic acid and an acetate ester of salicylic acid.
158 oC
an acid is more polar than an ester
The active ingredient in aspirin is acetyl salicylic acid. This is an ester, and boiling it will hydrolyze the bond and break it down into acetic acid and salicylic acid.
