Unit 3, Topic 6:

Organic Reactions, Part 2

Substitution, Esterification

Lesson Instructions

Review the learning goals and success criteria for Topic 6: Organic Reactions, Part 2.
- Review the minds on, action, and consolidation sections of the lesson, completing any tasks as outlined.
- Complete the fill-in-the-blanks handouts that have been provided to you. They have been linked below.
- Practice and apply what you've learned by completing the practice tasks outlined at the end of the lesson.

Learning Goals

I am learning to ...

- Predict, name, and draw the products of substitution reactions.
- Predict, name, and draw the products of esterification reactions.

Minds-On

In Topics 1-4, you learned about all of the organic families that comprise organic compounds. In the Topic 5 and 5, we will focus on the reactions that result in the formation of these compounds and their practical applications.

Upon completion of Topic 5 and 6, you will be able to:

- describe different types of organic reactions
- predict and correctly name the products of organic reactions

Millions of reactions take place everyday in the trillions of cells in your body. Since living organisms are composed of organic compounds, many of the reactions we will discuss in this lesson also occur in the cells of your body.

Action

SUBSTITUTION REACTIONS

A hydrogen atom or a functional group is replaced by a different functional group.

i) Substitution - Predict the product(s) of the following reaction.

Example: methane reacts with chlorine gas.

ii) Substitution - Predict the product(s) of the following reaction.

Example: propan-2-ol reacts with hydrogen chloride.

ESTERIFICATION REACTIONS

A carboxylic acid and an alcohol react to produce an ester and water.

Carboxylic acid + alcohol → ester + water

i) Esterification - Predict the product(s) of the following reaction.

Example: ethanoic acid reacts with methanol

ii) Esterification - Predict the product(s) of the following reaction.

Example: hexanoic acid reacts with ethanol

Consolidation

To consolidate your learning of substitution and esterification reactions, complete the following practice questions.

Once you have complete the practice questions above, check your answers using the solutions below. Make note of any corrections you need to make. Then, upload your completed homework questions on D2L.

This lesson is now complete. Return to D2L - Brightspace and complete the assigned tasks to consolidate your learning.
