The Fischer esterification mechanism is examined in this question. The overall reaction is: Benzoic acid, C H 3 O H and H C l re
1 answer:
Answer:
See explanation and image attached
Explanation:
Fischer esterification is a type of reaction used to convert carboxylic acids to ester in the presence of excess alcohol and a strong acid which acts as a catalyst. Another final product formed in the reaction is water.
The mechanism for the fischer esterification of Benzoic acid and C H 3 O H in the presence of HCl as the catalyst is shown in the image attached to this answer.
The final products of the reaction are methyl benzoate, water and H^+ as shown in the image attached.

Answer:
0.97 kg, 1.0kg
Explanation:
As you have mentioned in the question, to convert kilo-gram to grams, this conversion is used, 1 kilogram = 1,000 grams
Initially, when one has to convert from one unit to another, there is a lot of confusion. To avoid any such, multiply and divide the number with units to which it has to be converted.
Here,
970 g =
This makes no difference to the number.
970 g =
As, 1 kg= 1,000 g
970 g =
970 g = 0.97 kg
Rounding this off to the nearest tenth of a kilogram.
The tenths place is immediately to the right of the decimal point.
Here, 9 is at the tenth's place. Round the tenth's place up if the digit at hundredth's place is greater than or equal to 5. Since, 7 > 5, up the number at tenth's place.
So, answer is 1.0 kg
