Chapter 15, Problem 72P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

When butanoic acid and 18O-labeled methanol react under acidic conditions, the compounds formed at equilibrium has to be labeled.

Concept introduction:

The reaction between carboxylic acid and an alcohol forms an ester.  This type of reaction is known as esterification reaction.  Water is formed as by-product in the esterification reaction.  Under acidic conditions, the esterification reaction is reversible in nature.
