Apch11 Esters

This document provides instructions for students to complete chemistry problems involving esters, amides, and polymers. It asks students to: 1) Draw out the steps of an esterification reaction between ethanoic acid and ethanol to form ethyl ethanoate. 2) Draw and name the carboxylic acid and alcohol that can form the ester butyl ethanoate. 3) Draw the amide that can be formed from the reaction of ethanoic acid and methylamine. 4) Draw the repeat unit and trimer structures for 5 different monomers that can form addition polymers: ethylene, vinyl chloride, tetrafluoroethylene, styrene, and acetylene

Esters & Polymers
ESTERS & AMIDES
1. Work you way through an esterification reaction:
a) Draw CH3CH2COOH and CH3CH2OH
You have drawn a(n) _________________ and a(n) _______________
with the names ______________________ and _____________________.

b) Highlight the OH on the first molecule and the H on the second molecule. These atoms
leave to become H2O. We call this a condensation reaction. We will also see this when
amides are formed and when proteins are formed (peptide bonds).

c) Draw the ester (ethyl propanoate):

2. Draw the following ester, draw and name the carboxylic acid and alcohol that formed it.
CH3CH2COOCH2CH3

3. Draw CH3COOH and CH3NH2. They can react to form an amide. Draw the amide molecule.
POLYMERS
4. Monomers with double bonds can form addition polymers. For each of the following
monomers, draw the repeat unit and the trimer that results as the polymer forms. Pictures of
these monomers are on page 521 of your textbook.

a) CH2CH2 (ethylene)

b) CH2CHCl (vinyl chloride)

c) CF2CF2 (tetrafluoroethylene)

d) CH2CHC6H5 (styrene)

e) H-CC-H (acetylene)

5. Polyesters (a condensation polymer) can be formed from two different monomers, a di-acid and a
di-alcohol. Draw the two monomers and draw a polymer made of three of each unit.
HOOCC6H4COOH HOCH2CH2OH
benzene ring with two acid groups in para positions ethane with an OH group on each carbon
