Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The equation for the condensation reaction of ethanol and propanoic acid needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
In a condensation reaction, removal of water molecule takes place. Thus,
Explanation of Solution
Let’s take the general representation of a
The condensation reaction between acid and alcohol is represented as follows:
Here,
The mechanism for the reaction is represented as follows:
Thus, the products formed after the condensation reaction of a carboxylic acid and alcohol are ester and water.
The given alcohol and acid is ethanol and propanoic acid with structural formula CH2CH2OH and CH3CH2COOH respectively.
Thus, the condensation reaction can be represented as follows:
Here, the product formed will be
