(a)

Answer to Problem 67E
Complete reaction is as follows:
CH3CO2H + CH3OH→ CH3COOCH3 + H2OEthanoic acid Methanol Methyl acetate water
Explanation of Solution
Fisher esterification reaction is as follows:
From the above reaction, it is clear that when carboxylic acid reacts with alcohol, an ester is formed along with water.
CH3CO2H + CH3OH→ CH3COOCH3 + H2OEthanoic acid Methanol Methyl acetate water
(b)
Interpretation: The following reaction needs to be completed.
CH3CH2CH2OH+HCOOH→
Concept Introduction : The reaction of carboxylic acid with an alcohol in presence of acid catalyst produces an ester along with water. This type of reaction is termed as Fischer esterification reaction.
(b)

Answer to Problem 67E
Complete reaction is as follows:
CH3CH2CH2OH + HCOOH → CH3CH2CH2COOH + H2O Propanol Formic acid Butanoic acid water
Explanation of Solution
Fisher esterification reaction is as follows:
From the above reaction, it is clear that when carboxylic acid reacts with alcohol, an ester is formed along with water. In the given question carboxylic acid is formic acid. So, another carboxylic acid will form.
CH3CH2CH2OH + HCOOH → CH3CH2CH2COOH + H2O Propanol Formic acid Butanoic acid water

- The statements in the tables below are about two different chemical equilibria. The symbols have their usual meaning, for example AG stands for the standard Gibbs free energy of reaction and K stands for the equilibrium constant. In each table, there may be one statement that is faise because it contradicts the other three statements. If you find a false statement, check the box next to t Otherwise, check the "no false statements" box under the table. statement false? AG"1 no false statements: statement false?

- 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.
