In the Fischer esterification reaction, a carboxylic acid reacts with an excess of alcohol in acidic conditions to form an ester
1 answer:
Answer:
See explanation and image attached
Explanation:
Esterification is a reaction of an alkanol and an alkanoic acid to yield an ester and water as products. It is analogous to inorganic neutralization reaction.
The process may be acid catalyzed. As mentioned in the question, the process of ester formation between pentanoic acid and n‑propanol first involves the carbonyl in going through an sp3 hybridized intermediate before returning to sp2 hybridized state in the product.
The image of the neutral form of this intermediate as well as the final structure of the ester are both shown in the image attached to this answer.

Answer:- New pressure is 0.942 atm.
Solution:- The volume of the glass bottle would remain constant here and the pressure will change with the temperature.
Pressure is directly proportional to the kelvin temperature. The equation used here is:
Where, and
are initial and final temperatures,
and
are initial and final pressures.
= 20.3 + 273.15 = 293.45 K
= -2.0 + 273.15 = 271.15 K
= 1.02 atm
= ?
Let's plug in the values in the equation and solve it for final pressure.
= 0.942 atm
So, the new pressure of the jar is 0.942 atm.
