Acid Rain: The Southern Company (A) Case Analysis | Production Processes and Costs | | | | | Executive Summary In the year 1992‚ the Southern Company that held the Bowen plant‚ a coal-fired steam electric plant had to decide on the various options available to comply with the amendments in the Clean Air Act‚ effective 1995. The Bowen plant was an unusually large plant with a capacity to serve the residential‚ commercial and industrial demands of 1 million people. The Bowen

contain carbon as well as a select other elements. An organic acid however‚ is an organic compound which contains acidic properties. An ester is an example of being a derivative of these organic acids. Esters can be prepared by the reaction of carboxylic acids and alcohols‚ with an inorganic acid used as a catalyst which is dubbed esterification. With o-hydrobenzoic acid‚ or salicylic acid‚ we are able to create acetylsalicylic acid otherwise known as aspirin as well as methyl salicylate‚ which

Investigative question: how are esters formed ? Esters are formed by the reaction of an alcohol and a carboxylic acid‚ usually in the presence of sulphuric acid to catalyse the process‚ or by the reaction of an acyl chloride with a carboxylic acid (this requires no catalyst and is irreversible without additional reactants) are the most common ways used. Others include reactions of certain molecules such as structural rearrangement. Apparatus: Plastic dropping pipettes‚ Beaker (100 cm3 or 250

Abstract: For the first part of this lab we refluxed different Carboxylic acids and alcohols in the presence of a acid catalyst in order to form Esters by Fischer Esterification. These Esters had different pleasant smells that we then evaluated. In the second part of the experiment‚ we broke the ester bonds of a triglyceride in order to form glycerol and carboxylate salts. This process is known as Saponification because it produces amphiphilic molecules that allow soap to remove dirt from the surface

contained labs. They are formed when a carboxylic acid reacts with alcohol and a strong acid such as a catalyst called sulfuric acid (H2SO4) for this lab. The structural formula for esters can be represented as R-COO-R’. The R and R’ symbolizes different alkyl groups that can be combined to the ester. When naming an ester the first part comes from the alcohol followed by the name of the carboxylic acid. Synthesizing for a complete reaction involves a strong acid which makes the esters a final product

Investigation and Preparation of 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

mimics a natural flavor as that of banana flavor from the synthesis of isoamyl acetate. Ester is the functional group‚ which is responsible for the distinctive odor and taste that artificial fruit flavoring has. Esters are derived from carboxylic acids. A carboxylic acid contains the –COOH group‚ and in an ester the hydrogen in this group is replaced by a hydrocarbon group of some kind. This could be an alkyl group like methyl or ethyl‚ or one containing a benzene ring like phenyl[1]. Esters are widespread
