Draw the condensed structural formula for the ester formed when each of the following reacts with methyl alcohol:
formic acid
propionic acid
2-methylpentanoic acid

1) HCOOCH3

2) CH3CH2COOCH3

3) CH3CH2CH2CH(CH3)COOCH3

Explanation:

In the reaction between an alcohol and a carboxylic acid, an ester and water are formed. It is analogous to the inorganic neutralization reaction but this reaction is called esterification in organic chemistry. Esters contain the general formula RCOOR where the RCOO moiety was obtained from the acid and the other R moiety was obtained from the alcohol. The -COOR shows the ester linkage in the molecule. The condensed structural formulas shown in the answer reflects these facts.

to make a supersaturated solution, make a saturated solution of sugar by adding 360 grams of sugar to 100 ml of water at 80 degrees celsius. when the water cools back down to 25 degrees, that 360 grams of sugar will still be dissolved even though the water should only dissolve 210 grams of sugar.

your answer would be “dry”
