Reaction Quenching: Our Fisher Esterification reaction is being quenched using sodium bicarbonate Why do we use this reagent? Explain, in words and by drawing out acid/base chemistry reactions, wha the quench would accomplish. Be sure to use pKą values in your explanation. HINT: there are 2 different quench reactions that occur. Look at the reagents and the mechanism for what species exis in the reaction mixture that can react with sodium bicarbonate. OH Isobutyric acid C4H8 02 MW: 88.11 g/mol + HO Isobutyl alcohol C4H10O MW: 74.12 g/mol H₂SO4 (cat.) Reflux O Isobutyl isobutyrate C8H1602 MW: 144.20 g/mol + H₂O
