Given the following heats of formation (ΔH°f, 25°C)
and heats of combustion (ΔH°c, 25°C) data, determine the
heat of reaction for the liquid-phase esterification of lactic acid
(C3H6O3) with ethanol
(C2H5OH) to form ethyl lactate
(C5H10O3) and liquid water at 25°C
and 1 atm.
C3H6O3 +
C2H5OH -->
C5H10O3 + H2O
(liquid)
The table below shows the standard heat of combustion and heat
of reaction.
