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.

<h3>Answer:</h3>
79.8 ml
<h3>Explanation:</h3>Boyle's law describes the relationship between pressure and volume when the temperature is constant. For this question, I will be rounding to significant figures.
Boyle's Formula
When describing the relationship between pressure and volume, the formula . In this formula,
is the initial pressure and volume. On the other side,
is final pressure and volume. So, to find a missing variable you must plug in the values you are given.
Final Volume
Remember when solving this question to remain constant in your units. When we plug in the values we know we are given:
Now, we can multiply the left side
Finally, we can divide by 385 to isolate the final volume
This gives the final volume of 79.8mL.
