make polymers. In most cases‚ esters are used for scents – they often smell fruity and sweet. In general‚ an esterification reaction results from a condensation reaction between a carboxylic acid and an alcohol. The carboxylic acid group loses an OH group‚ and the alcohol loses and H. For instance‚ the reaction between methanoic acid and methanol is shown below COOH+CH_3 OH →CHOOCH_3+H_2 O Purpose The purpose of this investigation is to verify the smell of esters Method Place 250 mL of deionized

The reaction rate of the reaction plays an important role in the production of the ester which could affect the production of the ester. Esterification is a reversible reaction and thus this affects the amount of ester produced as ester hydrolysis changes it back to its reactants. Very little data is available on

The Preparation of Methyl Salicylate Introduction: Esters have various smells that differ due to the types of carboxylic acids and alcohols one mixes together. This is called esterfication. The reaction is catalyzed by an inorganic acid usually H2SO4 Purpose: In this lab Methanol alcohol and Salicylic acid were reacted together to form Methyl Salicylate. This was done to determine the characteristic odour of the Methyl Salicylate. Safety: Safety goggles must be worn at all times. Methanol: Toxic

Esterification Lab Introduction Esters are classified as organic compounds commonly derived from carboxylic acids. They are compounded from the reaction of a carboxylic acid with an alcohol in the presence of a strong acid to be used as a catalyst. The formula that represents an ester is R-COO-R where both Rs’ are alkyl groups‚ one which is bonded to an oxygen‚ and the other to a carbon which is double bonded to 1 oxygen and single bonded to the other. Esters are named in almost a reverse fashion

Ethyl acetate (systematically‚ ethyl ethanoate‚ commonly abbreviated EtOAc or EA) is the organic compound with the formula CH3COOCH2CH3. This colorless liquid has a characteristic sweet smell (similar to pear drops) and is used in glues‚ nail polish removers‚ and cigarettes (see list of additives in cigarettes). Ethyl acetate is the ester of ethanol and acetic acid; it is manufactured on a large scale for use as a solvent. The combined annual production in 1985 of Japan‚ North America‚ and Europe

Functional Groups of Organic Compounds A functional group is a specific arrangement of atoms in the HC derivative other than carbon and hydrogen. Literally‚ the functional group determines the functions of the particular HC derivative in chemical reactions. This means that the specific properties of the HC derivative are due to its functional group. Each functional group is attached to an alkyl radical (R). An alkyl radical is one H atom less than the given alkane. The alkyl radical (R) uses

BACKGROUND: Esterification is a reaction that combines an alcohol with an organic acid‚ with a water molecule is being taken out‚ and an ester is formed. A concentrated acid catalyst speeds up the esterification. In this experiment set up‚ sulphamic acid was used‚ as it is a solid acid and be added dry‚ without any water‚ which is a reactant in this experiment equilibrium. Esterification is a slow and reversible reaction. The equation for the reaction between an acid RCOOH and an alcohol RẬᶦ
