Question

Tumpeu. Drain the Wout IU mL of water and drain; then 10 mL Ul dilute hydrochloric acid and drain; finally 50 mL of distilled water and drain. Do not place the burette under the faucet in order to wash it. Fions 1. What would be the effect on the amount of ester formed if: a. an 80% l-propanol solution in water was used instead of anhydrous l-propanol? b. a 1.ON NaOH instead of a 0.5N NaOH solution was used for titration? 2. Calculate the value of 1 fm-

Answer 1

Esterification reaction is a process of formation of ester from carboxylic acid and alcohol . When carboxylic acid react with alcohol in the presence of catalyst then it forms Ester and water molecule.

If water molecule is taken with 80% of propanol then and the formation of Ester will decrease because of the excess amount of water in the solution according to law of kinetics reaction proceeds in backward direction because of the amount of water increases.
