Give the product(s)for the following reaction. B)CH₃CH₂CH₂OH C)CH₃CH₂OH

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction appears to involve two carboxylic acids, CH3(CH2)4COOH and CH3(CH2)5COOH, reacting with an alcohol, CH3(CH2)3OH, in the presence of a catalyst, H2SO4. This likely leads to the formation of two esters, CH3(CH2)4COO(CH2)4CH3 and CH3(CH2)5COO(CH2)3CH3, along with water. The correct product choice is C, which represents the ester CH3(CH2)4COO(CH2)4CH3. B, D, and E are all unlikely products based on the given reactants and conditions. A does represent an ester, but it is not a likely product in this case.
