In an Honors organic chemistry lab, a student devised an experiment in which she would treat benzoic acid with t-butanol in an a
cid-catalyzed esterification reaction using concentrated sulfuric acid. Regretfully, the synthetic yield of the expected ester was exceedingly low. Please explain this outcome in terms of the chemistry that actually occurred in the reaction flask. [This attempted esterification reaction would have been better suited to dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC/pyridine) esterification conditions.]

<u>Difference </u><u>between </u><u>Atomic </u><u>mass</u><u>, </u><u>relative </u><u>atomic </u><u>mass </u><u>and </u><u>average </u><u>atomic </u><u>mass</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>
<h3><u>Atomic </u><u>Mass </u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>- Atomic mass is the mass of neutrons and protons present in the nucleus of an atom .
- It is always calculated for a single element and having direct value
- For isotopes also, the atomic mass is calculated separately . Example :- <u>Carbon </u><u>1</u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>carbon </u><u>1</u><u>3</u><u> </u><u>and </u><u>carbon </u><u>1</u><u>4</u><u> </u><u>have </u><u>different </u><u>atomic </u><u>mass</u><u>. </u>
- The SI unit of Atomic mass is " u" and "amu"
- Relative atomic mass is mean mass of the atoms of an element which is compared to the 1/12th mass of carbon - 12 .
- Carbon - 12 is taken as a relative when we calculate the relative atomic mass of any element
- For calculating relative atomic mass, we need to know the masses, percentage and abundance of all types of elements
- Relative atomic mass is a dimension less quantity
- Average atomic mass is the average mass of an atoms of a particular element by considering it's isotopes
- While we calculate average atomic mass is a standardized number. Whereas, Average atomic mass sometimes varies geologically .
- It also includes percentage, abundance and masses of given element .
- In average atomic mass, We do not compare mean value with the 1/12 mass of carbon - 12
- The unit of Average atomic mass is "Amu" or " u " .
