Question 2 ? 1. Given that the esterification reaction is an equilibrium (forward andreverse reactions occurring), what could you do experimentally to pushthis equilibrium to the right (that is, towards the product). Hint: Write out thebalanced equation; what are the products?OH3C-C-0H+ +H-OC₂H5 H3C-C-OC₂H₂ + H₂0excess of+H30с(Can be shifted to the right by addingeither reactant Carboxylic Acid oralcohol.)2. Which spectroscopic method or methods would you use to follow thecourse of this reaction? Using this method or methods, what would youspecifically expect to see which would indicate that the reaction hasgone to completion?

Esterification is a chemical reaction between an alcohol and a carboxylic acid or its derivative,…

1. Given that the esterification reaction is an equilibrium (forward and reverse reactions occurring), what could you do experimentally to push this equilibrium to the right (that is, towards the product). Hint: Write out balanced equation; what are the products? the O H+ H3C-C-0H+ +H-OC₂H5 → H3C-C-OC₂Hs+H+₂₂0 (Can be shifted to the right by adding either reactant Carboxylic Acid or excess of alcohol.) 2. Which spectroscopic method or methods would you use to follow the course of this reaction? Using this method or methods, what would you specifically expect to see which would indicate that the reaction has gone to completion?

» Significant Figure Rules 01 >> 02 >> 03 >> 04 >> 05 >> All nonzero digits are significant. Zeros that appear between other nonzero digits are always significant. Zeros that appear in front of all of the nonzero digits are called left-end zeros. Left-end zeros are never significant. Zeros that appear after all nonzero digits are called right-end zeros. Right-end zeros in a number that locks a decimal point are not significant. ▬▬▬ 美銀銀時 ☐☐ Right-end zeros in a number with a decimal point are significant. This is true whether the zeros occur before or ofter the decimal point. 237 has three significant figures. 1.897 has four significant figures. 39,004 has five significant figures. 5.02 has three significant figures. 0.008 has one significant figure. 0.000416 has three significant figures. 140 has two significant figures. 75,210 has four significant figures. 620.0 has four significant figures. 19.000 has five significant figures.
