b. Write the balanced chemical equation for the formation of propyl acetate.

검증된 단계별 안내

Identify the reactants involved in the formation of propyl acetate. Esters like propyl acetate are typically formed through a reaction between a carboxylic acid and an alcohol. In this case, the carboxylic acid is acetic acid (CH₃COOH), and the alcohol is 1-propanol (CH₃CH₂CH₂OH).

Write the general reaction for esterification:

R COOH + R' OH → R COOR' + H_{2 O}

. Here, R represents the alkyl group from the carboxylic acid, and R' represents the alkyl group from the alcohol.

Substitute the specific reactants into the general equation. For acetic acid (CH₃COOH) and 1-propanol (CH₃CH₂CH₂OH), the reaction becomes:

{CH}_{3} COOH + {CH}_{3} {CH}_{2} {CH}_{2} OH → {CH}_{3} COOCH {CH}_{2} {CH}_{2} {CH}_{3} + H_{2} O

Balance the chemical equation. In this case, the equation is already balanced as written because the number of each type of atom is the same on both sides of the equation.

Verify the product. The ester formed is propyl acetate (CH₃COOCH₂CH₂CH₃), and water (H₂O) is the byproduct of the reaction. This confirms the balanced chemical equation for the formation of propyl acetate.

주요 개념

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Esterification

Esterification is a chemical reaction that forms an ester from an alcohol and a carboxylic acid. In this process, the hydroxyl group (-OH) from the acid and a hydrogen atom from the alcohol combine to release water (H2O), resulting in the formation of the ester. This reaction is typically catalyzed by an acid, which helps to drive the reaction to completion.

Balanced Chemical Equation

A balanced chemical equation represents a chemical reaction with equal numbers of each type of atom on both sides of the equation. Balancing ensures the law of conservation of mass is upheld, meaning that matter is neither created nor destroyed in the reaction. This is crucial for accurately depicting the reactants and products involved in the formation of compounds like propyl acetate.

Propyl Acetate

Propyl acetate is an organic compound classified as an ester, formed from propanol (an alcohol) and acetic acid (a carboxylic acid). It is known for its fruity odor, reminiscent of pears, and is commonly used in the food and fragrance industries. Understanding its structure and formation is essential for writing the correct balanced chemical equation for its synthesis.
