The Equilibrium Constant of an Ester Hydrolysis Reaction Abstract: The results from this experiment show four different Kc equilibrium constants of: .1522 for bottle two‚ .1853 for bottle three‚ .2094 for bottle four‚ and .2678 for bottle five. The average Kc value came out to be .2037 for all four bottles. Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to determine the equilibrium concentrations of an organic acid‚ an alcohol‚ an ester‚ and water in four bottles with varying measurements of each

Introduction ESTERS are compounds derived from the reaction of a organic acid with an alcohol. Acid + Phenol/alcohol --> ester + water R--C=O + R’--OH ----> R--C=O + H2O | | C-OH C-O-R’ Esters are the compounds that give fruits their characteristic flavours and odours. ie. methyl salycilate is "Oil of Wintergreen". http://www.petrik.com/PUBLIC/library/misc/glossary_of_org_chem.htm#ESTERS Aim To synthesise the ester 3-methylbutyl ethanoate( isopentyl acetate) and to identify the product

The way the author chooses to describe them‚ give them personalities‚ is how the reader will see their lives. A character’s psyche and the way he thinks about events around him change the way a reader perceives the story. Authors have an amazing chance to shape and bend a story to fit what they want

Preparation of Esters Introduction Esters are known for their pleasant smells such as perfumes and artificial flavorings in 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

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

Preparation and isolation of an Ester Aim: To make an ester and purify it Background Theory: Esters are derived from carboxylic acids and alcohols with the presence of a catalyst. 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. Sulfuric acid (H2SO4)is used as a catalyst for this reaction in order to accelerate the rate at which the product is formed. The general formula of an ester is RCOOR’ in which R is the

Introduction In this lab‚ caproic acid was synthesized in a multi-step process that involved the synthesis of three intermediates – diethyl n-butylmalonate‚ potassium n-butylmalonate‚ and n-butyl malonic acid respectively. An IR was used to characterize the starting material‚ n-bromobutane‚ and the first intermediate‚ diethyl n-butylmalonate; while IR and NMR were used to characterize the final product‚ caproic acid. Reactions‚ Mechanism and Theory Caproic acid a.k.a n-hexanoic acid is a carboxylic
