Befuddled Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 Hey there chemists! I am doing an esterification reaction for my IA, and in order to determine Kc, I need to find out how much unreacted acid was left over. I would like to avoid the lengthy process of washing and purifying the ester (Christmas soon, little time!) and using that as a determinant. The carboxylic acid and alcohol are the ones left over then. Do you know how I could isolate the acid or the alcohol, to find out its concentration? Thanks a billion!
