Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The hemiacetal which is formed when benzaldehyde (C6H5CHO) is treated with one equivalent of cyclohexanol should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Alcohol and ether groups are bound to the same carbon in a hemiacetal. A hemiacetal is resulted as an intermediate of the formation of acetal during the reaction between alcohol and
(b)
Interpretation:
The acetal which is formed when benzaldehyde is reacted with two equivalents of cyclohexanol in the presence of H2SO4 should be determined.
Concept introduction:
When an aldehyde or a ketone is reacted with two equivalent alcohol molecules in the presence of H2SO4, an acetal is produced. In acetal formation, two alkoxy groups are bonded to the same carbon.

- Ethyl butyrate, CH3CH2CH2CO2CH2CH3, is an artificial fruit flavor commonly used in the food industry for such flavors as orange and pineapple. Its fragrance and taste are often associated with fresh orange juice, and thus it is most commonly used as orange flavoring.It can be produced by the reaction of butanoic acid with ethanol in the presence of an acid catalyst (H+): CH3CH2CH2CO2H(l)+CH2CH3OH(l)H+⟶CH3CH2CH2CO2CH2CH3(l)+H2O(l) Given 8.50 g of butanoic acid and excess ethanol, how many grams of ethyl butyrate would be synthesized, assuming a complete 100%yield?

- Ethyl butyrate, CH3CH2CH2CO2CH2CH3CH3CH2CH2CO2CH2CH3, is an artificial fruit flavor commonly used in the food industry for such flavors as orange and pineapple. Its fragrance and taste are often associated with fresh orange juice, and thus it is most commonly used as orange flavoring. It can be produced by the reaction of butanoic acid with ethanol in the presence of an acid catalyst (H+H+): CH3CH2CH2CO2H(l)+CH2CH3OH(l)H+⟶CH3CH2CH2CO2CH2CH3(l)+H2O(l) Part A Given 7.30 gg of butanoic acid and excess ethanol, how many grams of ethyl butyrate would be synthesized, assuming a complete 100%% yield? Express your answer in grams to three significant figures. Part B A chemist ran the reaction and obtained 5.95 gg of ethyl butyrate. What was the percent yield? Express your answer as a percent to three significant figures. Part C The chemist discovers a more efficient catalyst that can produce ethyl butyrate with a 78.0%% yield.
