Your goal is to present how you are going to synthesize 15 mmol that ester using Fischer esterification method. Narration audio of PPT no more than 15 min in length.

Slide 1-Reaction mechanism   
  Write out the full mechanism (with arrows) for the formation of the ester that was assigned (must be handwritten).

      Comment on the quantities of alcohol/acid/catalyst used in the experiment in terms of reaction kinetics and/or thermodynamic reasoning. Discuss the yield of the reaction in the above terms.

(ask yourself: how would the equilibrium of the esterification reaction change with the addition or removal of H2O/catalyst?)


Slide 2-5-Yield calculations & Procedure- step by step detailed procedure
-Show your handwritten yield calculations (picture from lab notebook is fine)
-Detailed, step-by-step procedures must include

Setting up reaction:

      Follow table from page 105 format
