1. What safety precautions should be taken when using concentrated sulfuric acid?

2. Calculate the grams (for solids) or the mL (for liquids) required to give the appropriate number of mmol for your alcohol and carboxylic acid. Hint: density of liquids are given. You will need to calculate the molecular weight of your reagents.

Acetic Acid, Glacial		60.052 g/mol		16.6		1.049
Propionic Acid		74.08 g/mol		-20.7		0.993
Butyric Acid		88.11 g/mol		-5.7		0.964
Anthranilic Acid		137.14 g/mol		146 - 148		solid
Benzoic Acid		122.12 g/mol		122		solid
Salicylic Acid		138.121 g/mol		159		solid
Methanol		32.04 g/mol		-98		0.791

1-propanol		60.09 g/mol		-126		0.804
2-propanol		60.1 g/mol		-90		0.785
3-methyl-1-butanol		88.148 g/mol		-117		0.809
cis-3-Hexen-1-ol		100.16 g/mol		54		0.846
magnesium Sulfate		120.366 g/mol		1124		2.66
Sulfuric Acid (3 mL)		98.079 g/mol		10.31		15 lb/gal
Ether (50 mL)		74.12 g/mol
5% Sodium bicarbonate (150 mL)				50		2.1

3. Draw the structure of the ester you will synthesize

4. Calculate the theoretical yield (in grams) of your product. Show calculations. Hint: will need to calculate the product ester.
