Chapter 21.6, Problem 21.15P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A mechanism corresponding to the acid-catalyzed reaction of salicylic acid with acetic anhydride is to be proposed.

Concept introduction:

Acid-catalyzed reactions are the chemical reactions that are catalyzed by an acid. An acid is a proton donor and is known as Bronsted-Lowry acid. The reactions that are typically catalyzed by proton transfer are esterification and aldol reactions.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

An explanation corresponding to the statement that a single drop of sulfuric acid dramatically increases the reaction rate is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Catalysts are basically the substances that increase the rate of reaction and they are not consumed in the reaction. In the presence of catalysts, more collisions occurs in a reaction that increases the rate of a reaction.

Acid-catalyzed reactions are the chemical reactions that are catalyzed by an acid. An acid is a proton donor and is known as Bronsted-Lowry acid. The reactions that are typically catalyzed by proton transfer are esterification and aldol reactions.
