Draw and name the structures of the carboxylic acids and esters you put together using molecular models.

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

However, when the carboxylic acids and esters put together are obtained, the procedure below can be followed in drawing and naming them.

For carboxylic acid,

1) it should be noted that the functional group here is -COOH which is drawn as -C = OH

      |

     OH

2) The carbon of the functional group is included among the carbon to be counted when naming the structure. For example, the compound below is propanoic acid.

CH₃CH₂COOH - As you can see that there are 3 carbons linked chain there.

3) As can be seen in (2) above, the suffix "oic" is used to name carboxylic acids

4) The carbon chain here is saturated (meaning there is no double or triple bond within the carbon chain)

Example of a structure of carboxylic acid is

H₃C - CH₂ - CH₂ - C = OH

                              |

                             OH

The structure above is a butanoic acid

For ester

1)The functional group here is -COO- . which can be drawn as

- C = O

   |

  O -

(meaning one oxygen atom is double bonded to the carbon and the other oxygen atom is bonded to another carbon chain)

2) The alkyl group attached to the oxygen atom is first of all mentioned before the carbon chain attached from the left is mentioned. For example, CH₃CH₂CH₂COOCH₂CH₃ is ethyl butanoate

3) As seen from (2) above, the suffix "oate" is used to end the name of esters

4) As also seen from (2) above, the carbon of the functional group is also included while counting the carbon chain of the parent name (butanoate).

5) The carbon chains here are also saturated.

Example of this ester is

CH₃CH₂C = O

              |

             O - CH₂CH₃

The name of this compound is ethyl propanoate

petroleum? coal maybe?
