Name the alcohol that would be used in the Fischer esterification synthesis of ethyl propanoate (CH3CH2O2CCH2CH3).

Ethanol.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the Fischer esterification stand for the organic acid-base reactions, we infer that the alcohol is related to the -yl part on the name (ethyl propanoate) as the alcohol is likely to lose the -OH and provide a carbocation for the carboxyl group of the carboxylic acid.

In such a way, since the -yl part is given as ethyl, we infer the used alcohol is ethanol:

answer: e.   sour taste

explanation: acids are those substances which dissociates in water to give ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. acids are sour in taste. example: hcl

bases are those substances which dissociates in water to give ions or accepts ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. bases are bitter in taste. bases are slippery in nature.
