Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structural formula for methyl 2-hydroxybenzoate should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

The reaction of carboxylic acid with alcohol results the formation of ester and water. This reaction is called as Fisher Esterification. It occurs in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid.

Esterification of Carboxylic Acids Provide the reactions (chemical equations) on esterification of the following acids: Ethanoic acid Butanoic acid Benzoic acid Acetic acid + methanol Acetic acid + ethanol Salicylic acid + methanol Acetic acid + benzyl alcohol
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. How many grams would be produced from 7.30 gg of…

Express your answer in grams to three significant figures.   A chemist ran the reaction and obtained 5.50 gg  of ethyl butyrate. What was the percent yield? Express your answer as a percent to three significant figures.   The chemist discovers a more efficient catalyst that can produce ethyl butyrate with a 78.0%% yield.
