Conductometric measurement of the saponification of esters (with the Cobra3 Chem-Unit)

Product No: P3050840

Principle

Carboxylic acid esters are saponified in an alkaline medium according to the second order reaction rate (law). In the process, hydroxide ions with a high ion mobility are consumed in reaction with an ester. The temporal course of reaction can thus be advantageously monitored by using the measurements of the changing conductance.

Tasks

Determine the reaction rate constant for the saponification of ethyl butyrate in an ethanol-water mixture at 50°C via the conductance measurements.
