What is the product of 1-propanol and acetic acid?
The product of 1-propanol and acetic acid is the compound propyl acetate. This compound is formed through the esterification process, which is a reaction of a carboxylic acid with an alcohol in the presence of a substance like sulfuric acid.
In the adsorption of acetic acid by charcoal why are the flasks stopperd?
The flasks are stoppered during the adsorption of acetic acid by charcoal to prevent the loss of acetic acid vapors into the atmosphere. This allows for better control of the experiment, ensuring that the adsorption process occurs within the enclosed flask and the concentration of acetic acid is maintained.
What is an acetoxy?
An acetoxy is a univalent radical derived from acetic acid by loss of a hydrogen atom.
Is the mass conserved when you add baking soda and vinegar?
Yes. The baking soda (Na2CO3) and the vinegar (principally acetic acid, CH3COOH) produce carbon dioxide (CO2) and sodium ethoxide (CH3COONa). Mass is always conserved in simple chemical reactions.
What is the condensation reaction between acetic acid and ethanol?
Acetic acid reacts with ethanol to give ethyl acetate. If this reaction is carried out in presence of a mineral acid, usually sulphuric acid, as catalyst, then it is known as Fischer esterification.
What does the oxidation of ethanol produce?
Ethanol is first oxidised to acetaldehyde which can be further oxidised to acetic acid
When acetic acid and sodium bicarbonate react why does total mass decrease?
Because CO2 is released during the experiment which accounts for some of the weight loss
What is the compound produced by the reaction between acid and alcohol with the elimination of water?
The compound produced by the reaction between an acid and an alcohol with the elimination of water is an ester. Esters are formed from the condensation reaction between a carboxylic acid and an alcohol in the presence of an acid catalyst, resulting in the loss of a water molecule.
What ester is formed when methanol reacts with acetic acid?
The reaction of acetic acid and methanol affords water and an ester, namely methyl methanoate. The mechanism of this reaction can involves two pathways. In one, the hydroxyl hydride is displaced by a strong base, leaving a methanoate anion, which nucleophilically attacks the methyl group of the alcohol. Also, the carbonyl double bond of the acid can form a bond with the methyl group. The hydroxyl group of what used to be methanol leaves. Immediately following, the O-H bond of the acetic acid collapses to form a carbonyl, a proton is abstracted, which reacts with the hydroxide left from the loss of hydrogen from the water to form methyl methanoate and water. See esterfication and Fischer esterfication
The reaction between an acid and a base is called?
the name of this reaction is often used as neutrilization reaction.because when acid and base reacts they loss there acidity and basicity and form water and salt.che05_e@yahoo.com
What is a palmitoylation?
A palmitoylation is a reaction of a membrane protein with a fatty acid, via the sulphur atom of a cysteine amino acid.
Why is chloro acetic acid stronger than acetic acid?
Actually, benzoic acid is the stronger acid when compared to ethanoic acid. This is due to the delocalisation of the lone pair of electrons on the oxygen atom into the benzene, increasing the polarity of the -OH bond and thus makes the cleaving of the H+ ion easier. The delocalisation of electrons into the benzene ring also stabilises the carboxylate ion. Therefore the position of equilibrium lies more to the right and this shows that benzoic is a more acidic acid. The simplified version is that a benzene ring is electron withdrawing and a methyl group is electron releasing. The electron withdrawing power makes the releasing of the H+ ion easier.
