## Ester Formation and Carboxylic Acids### Question 17.54**What ester is formed when each carboxylic acid is treated with 2-propanol \((CH_3)_2CHOH\) in the presence of \(H_2SO_4\)?**#### Options:- **a.** \(CH_3CH_2COOH\)- **b.** \[\begin{array}{c}\quad\quad O \\\quad\quad || \\CH_3(CH_2)_{10}C \quad OH \end{array}\]- **c.** \(HCO_2H\)- **d.** \[\begin{array}{c}CH_3O \quad\quad COOH \\\quad \backslash / \\\quad \ /\ \\\end{array}\]### Explanation:This question explores the formation of esters when various carboxylic acids react with 2-propanol in the presence of sulfuric acid (\(H_2SO_4\)), which acts as a catalyst for the reaction. Esters are organic compounds derived from the reaction of an acid with an alcohol, known as esterification.
