Textbook Question
Chapter 2, Problem 2.28QP
A friend is trying to balance the following equation:
He presents you with his version of the “balanced” equation:
You immediately recognize that he has committed a serious error; however, he argues that there is nothing wrong, since the equation is balanced. What reason can you give to convince him that his “method” of balancing the equation is flawed?

What would happen if the carboxylic acid and alcohol groups were on the same molecule? In
essence, the molecule reacts with itself. Draw the structure of the products formed in this manner
using the reactants below. If two functional groups interact with one another on the same molecule,
this is called an “intramolecular" (within one) rather than "intermolecular" (between two or more)
attack.
