2. Carboxylic Acids
a. Explain are carboxylic acids and esters in your own words. What is the difference and relationship
between these two compounds.
b. Write the chemical equation for the formation of ethyl butanate
c. Define what an esterification reaction is. Write a reaction which explains the process universally for
this type of reaction.
d. Where can we find a malonic acid?
and. What was the purpose of phosphoric acid in the laboratory (theoretically speaking)?
F. During the hydrolysis of esters, what was the purpose of adding 1 mL of 10% sodium hydroxide to the
test tube, and then adding 2 mL of HCI? (Here you have to explain it using reactions, explain).
