Question
### Esterification Reaction and Polyester Formation

**Section d)**

Reactants:
- A molecule of butanedioic acid (succinic acid) with the chemical structure:
  \[
  \text{HOOC-CH}_2-\text{CH}_2-\text{COOH}
  \]
- Three molecules of ethylene glycol with the chemical structure:
  \[
  \text{HO-CH}_2-\text{CH}_2-\text{OH}
  \]

**Conditions:**
- Catalyst: \( \text{H}^+ \) (acidic environment)
- Heat is applied.

**Expected Product:**
- The reaction results in the formation of new polymeric unit (repeat unit of polyester). 

**Explanation:**
The esterification reaction between the dicarboxylic acid and the diol produces a polyester. Heating with an acid catalyst encourages the removal of water molecules, leading to the polyester formation through condensation reactions.

**Section e)**

Reactants:
- A molecule of ethyl acrylate with the structure:
  \[
  \text{H}_2\text{C}=\text{CH}-\text{COO-C}_2\text{H}_5
  \]
- A molecule of a benzene ring with lithium attached, representing an organolithium compound:
  \[
  \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{Li}
  \]

**Conditions:**
- Water is introduced in presence of a proton source \( (\text{H}^+)/\text{H}_2\text{O} \).

**Expected Product:**
- The final product of the reaction is not provided.

**Explanation:**
This reaction sequence generally points towards a nucleophilic addition of the organolithium compound to the carbonyl group of ethyl acrylate, followed by acidic workup with water to give the final product.

### Graphs or Diagrams
There's a representation of the reactants and the reaction conditions leading to specific products. For section d), the expected outcome is the formation of a repeat unit of polyester. For section e), a typical organolithium addition reaction scenario is depicted but the final product structure is not illustrated.

**Note:**
Students are encouraged to understand the fundamental mechanisms of esterification and nucleophilic addition reactions to facilitate better comprehension of these chemical processes.
