Ok I'm stuck and there's no one to help me. So, PLEASE please pleeease if you know any one of these answers, don't hesitate to tell me. I promise to give best answer.
1. Demonstrate the dehydration synthesis and complete the following:
a) CH3(CH2)2COOH + CH3CH2NH2 -------> CH3CH2CH2CH2NHCOCH2 + H2O
d) .... -------> ethyl pentanoate + water (fill in the first part and state it in molecular formula)
2.
a) butyl ethanoate + water --------> ..... (fill in the second part and state in molecular formula
c) ... ------> CH3NH2 + CH3(CH2)4COOH (fill in the first part and state in molecular formula)

1. a) CH3(CH2)2CO [OH-H] NHCH2CH3 ===> CH3(CH2)2CONHCH2CH3 The brackets, [ ] go around the HOH of water, showing how dehydration forms the amide with the splitting out of water.
d. ethanol (ethyl alcohol) + pentanoic acid (valeric acid) ===>
2. a) butyl ethanoate (butyl acetate) + water ===> butanol + acetaic acid (ethanoic acid?)
c) CH3(CH2)4CONHCH3 + H2O ===> methylamine + hexanoic acid (caproic acid?)
Where do you go to school? Patrick Henry University? A cathedral school in the middle ages?
