The Equilibrium Constant of an Ester Hydrolysis Reaction
Abstract
The first step in determining the equilibrium constant of an ester hydrolysis
reaction is to prepare five different reaction mixtures with the volume given in
Table 1. the bottles have different mixtures of HCl, H2O, an unknown ester, and
one bottle has alcohol. We will later determine the equilibrium constant for the
reaction between the unknown ester and water to produce an unknown alcohol,
and unknown acid. Once the bottles were shooken vigorusly we stored them in
our drawer until chemical equilibrium was reached, which took about two weeks.
We were then to make a base solution of 0.7 M NaOH. In order to standardize
this solution we had to weigh out 5g of KHP, which is the amount needed to
neutralize 35ml of our base. Once.....
