Chapter 17, Problem 17.69P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The carboxylic acid and alcohol required to form methylparaben by Fischer esterification needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

When carboxylic acid (RCOOH) is treated with an alcohol (R'OH) in an acidic medium, an ester (RCOOR') formation can be observed. This process is known as the Fischer esterification.

In this esterification process, the OR' group of an alcohol replaces the OH group of the starting carboxylic acid.

General reaction is represented as follows:

Using a cell of known pathlength b = 1.25115 x 10-3 cm, a water absorption spectrum was measured. The band at 1645 cm-1, assigned to the O-H bending, showed an absorbance, A, of 1.40. a) Assuming that water density is 1.00 g/mL, calculate the water molar concentration c (hint: M= mole/L) b) Calculate the molar absorptivity, a, of the 1645 cm-1 band c) The transmitted light, I, can be written as I= Ioexp(-xb), where x is the absorption coefficient (sometimes designated as alpha), Io is the input light, and b is the cell pathlength. Prove that x= (ln10)*x*c d) Calculate x for the 1645 cm-1 band
Convert 1.38 eV into wavelength (nm) and wavenumber (cm-1) (c = 2.998 x 108 m/s; h = 6.626 x 10-34 J*s).
Can you help me understand the CBC method on metal bridging by looking at this problem?
