Answer:
Esterification reaction
Explanation:
When we have to go from an acid to an ester we can use the <u>esterification reaction</u>. On this reaction, an alcohol reacts with a carboxylic acid on acid medium to produce an ester and water. (See figure).
In this case, we need the <u>methyl ester</u>, therefore we have to choose the <u>appropriate alcohol</u>, so we have to use the <u>methanol</u> as reactive if we have to produce the methyl ester.
Answer:
The solution will turn red.
Explanation:
HC₁₄H₁₄SO₃ + H₂O ⇌ HC₁₄H₁₄SO₃⁻ +H₃O⁺
(red) (yellow)
Methyl orange is a weak acid in which the ionized and unionized forms are distinct colours and are in equilibrium with each other,
At about pH 3.4, the two the forms are present in equal amounts, and the indicator colour is orange.
If you add more acid, you are disturbing the equilibrium.
According to Le Châtelier's Principle, when you apply a stress to a system at equilibrium, it will respond in such a way as to relieve the stress.
The system will try to get rid of the added acid, so the position of equilibrium will move to the left.
More of the unionized molecules will form, so the solution will turn red.
