Question#19
Which one of the following groups is indicated when HCl is formed by reaction of ethanol with phosphorus pentachloride ? ( MDCAT2014 )
Question#20
Consider the following reaction \( C_2H_5-OH + PCl_5 \rightarrow ? \)
What product (s) may be formed ? (MDCAT2013)
Question#21
When ethanol is warmed with ethanoic acid in the presence of strong acid catalyst, an ester ethyl ethanoate is formed
\( CH_3-CH_2-OH + CH_3-COOH \rightarrow CH_3-CO-OCH_2CH_3 \) during this reaction (MDCAT2012)
In esterification process: Carboxylic acid is acidified with a strong acid(H2SO4) first. In the presence of strong acid, carboxylic acid acts as a base and OH- is given by this carboxylic acid.
