Interpretation:
The general equation should be written for the formation of an ester by the condensation of a tertiary alcohol with
Concept Introduction:
Compounds consist of carbon and hydrogen is known as hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons are classified as saturated hydrocarbon and
The compounds consist of hydroxyl group (-OH) are known as alcohols. The general formula is R-OH, where R is an alkyl group.
In ester, carbonyl carbon is bonded to oxygen atom which is further linked with another carbon atom. The general formula is RCOOR’, where R and R’ is an alkyl group.
In carboxylic acid, carbonyl carbon is linked to carbon or hydrogen on one side and on other side linked to a heteroatom such as O, N, S. The general formula is RCOOH, where R is an alkyl group.

- Define the structure of a carboxylic acid ?arrow_forwardWrite a general equation showing the preparation of a carboxylic acid from an alcohol.arrow_forwardThe IUPAC name for a carboxylic acid is based on the name of the hydrocarbon with the same number of carbon atoms. The ending-oic is appended, as in ethanoic acid; which is the IUPAC name for the acetic acid. Draw the structure of the following acids. Methanoic acid Pentanoic acid 2-chloro-3-methyldecanoic acidarrow_forward
- This molecule belongs to which class of organic compounds? CH3⎯CH2⎯O⎯CH3 carboxylic acid alcohol aldehyde ether esterarrow_forwardHow do carboxylic acids and esters differ in their characteristic? Why are there differences in the solubility of the two acids tested? Write the complete (including states) balanced chemical reaction that occurs when acetic acid reacts with sodium bicarbonate.arrow_forwardAldehydes and ketones can be named in a systematic way by counting the number of carbon atoms (including the carbonyl carbon) that they contain. The name of the aldehyde or ketone is based on the hydrocarbon with the same number of carbon atoms. The ending -al for aldehyde or -one for ketone is added as appropriate. Draw the structural formulas for propanal.arrow_forward
- Write the structure of the carboxylic acid that forms when the following aldehyde is oxidized: H3C CHarrow_forward1. Complete the following table to summarize the nomenclature rules for organic compounds. The first one is completed for you as an example.
