Write the formation equation for the ester that forms between propanoic acid and 1-pentanol. Include the names of the products and the structures for all substances involved.
Answered by DrBob222
CH3CH2COOH + HOCH2CH2CH2CH2CH3 -->
CH3CH2COOCH2CH2CH2CH2CH3 + H2O
The ester is pentyl propanoate
Answered by Lily

Answered by DrBob222
No, propoate is not correct.
