Interpretation: An experiment needs to be proposed using the isotopes to determine which oxygen comes from alcohol and which from carboxylic acid for the formation of ester.

Concept Introduction: The reaction of alcohol and carboxylic acid results in the formation of ester. The general formula of ester is as follows:

  RCOOR'

The general reaction is represented as follows:

  RCOOH+R'OHRCOOR'

Fill out the table with correct answers. This is all about Hydrocarbons and Functional Groups  Chemistry. The most interesting Functional Group Why is it more interesting than other Functional Group(Ethers, Aldehydes and ketones, carboxylic acids,esters and amines) Give a sample structure of your chosen functional compound Give its Special Properties and Common Uses Name Products or things in which this Functional Group is present Alcohols-(R-OH; R=hydrocarbon)
You are teaching a class in organic chemistry to grade 12 students. Outline the differences in 3 physical properties between alkanes, alcohols, and carboxylic acids. Note: they all have the same hydrocarbon length.
We see that 1-propanol and 2-propanol have the same molecular formula, C3H7OH, but different molecular structures.  What is the name for molecules that have the same molecular formula but different structural formulas (different shapes)? Use the specific term.
