Chapter 6, Problem 6.57P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The reason for the different Keq values of the given similar reactions is to be stated.

Concept introduction: The change in Gibbs free energy is represented by ΔG°. It is a state function. The value of ΔG° depends on Keq. The free energy change is calculated as,

ΔG°=2.303RTlogKeq

If the ΔG° is greater than zero and Keq is smaller than one, then the formation of starting material is favored at equilibrium. However, if the ΔG° is smaller than zero and Keq is greater than one, the formation of product is favored at equilibrium.

Esterication is the reaction of a carboxylic acid (RCOOH) with an alcohol (R'OH) to form an ester (RCOOR') with loss of water. Equation [1] is an example of an intermolecular esterication reaction. Equation [2] is an example of an intramolecular esterication reaction; that is, the carboxylic acid and alcohol are contained in the same starting material, forming a cyclic ester as product. The equilibrium constants for both reactions are given. Explain why Keq is different for these two apparently similar reactions.
In an esterification reaction, a carboxylic acid reacts with an excess of alcohol in acidic conditions to form an ester. Draw the structure of the ester product in the reaction between pentanoic acid and 1‑propanol.
