How to draw the line bond formula or lewis structure of a methyl ketone with the chemical formula C6H5C3H5O? Based on the results of the solubility tests, the compound can be grouped in VI, which is insoluble in water, 10% NaOH and 10% HCl but soluble in concentrated H2SO4. If the compound is water-insoluble but soluble in concentrated H2SO4, it is most probably an alcohol, aldehyde, anhydride, ester, ether, ketone, or an unsaturated hydrocarbon The functional group/class is identified to be Methyl Ketone, base on the results of the chemical tests on Table 2.

Esterication is the reaction of a carboxylic acid (RCOOH) with an alcohol (R'OH) to form an ester (RCOOR') with loss of water. Equation [1] is an example of an intermolecular esterication reaction. Equation [2] is an example of an intramolecular esterication reaction; that is, the carboxylic acid and alcohol are contained in the same starting material, forming a cyclic ester as product. The equilibrium constants for both reactions are given. Explain why Keq is different for these two apparently similar reactions.

1. Esters can be formed by the condensation of a carboxylic acid with the hydroxyl group of an alcohol or phenol. a) Use structures to show the condensation of acetic acid (IUPAC: ethanoic acid) with the hydroxyl of cyclohexanol. b) Explain why 'condensation' is an appropriate name for this reaction. c) You'll synthesize the ester in aspirin by condensing the phenol group of salicylic acid not with acetic acid, but with acetic anhydride. Explain why the experiment calls for the use of an anhydride, rather than an acid.
