Provide the name of the glassware components (A, B, C) for the purification of 3-methylbutyl acetate used in Lab 2. Indicate with arrows in what direction is water flowing. 2 nbzzelsExplanation / Answer
2. If alcohol contain water reaction yield will be reduced, since the reaction is under equilibrium and in right hand side of the equilibrium water is by-product therefore if excess water is present it will favour left hand side of the reaction and ester formation will decreases.
