Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The type of reaction showing formation of aspirin from salicylic acid and acetic acid needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Compounds that contains only carbon and hydrogen atoms are said to be hydrocarbons. The hydrocarbons can be saturated or unsaturated on the basis of the type of bond present in them.
Explanation of Solution
The salicylic acid reacts with acetic acid to form aspirin and water.
The reaction is represented as follows:
In this reaction addition of two products takes place to form a single product along with removal of water molecule. Thus, it is a condensation reaction. Also, in this reaction the hydroxyl group on the salicylic acid reacts with carboxyl group of acetic acid to form an ester group in aspirin. Thus, it also involves an esterification reaction.
