The values are actual. Nothing round off just in Standard form. a person can easily make a mistake in converting Standard form From his calculator into Decimal

press std then shift+eng button twice and calc will change answer into decimal.

Also one more tip:
Esters formed with alcohol and carboxylic acid are detected by their sweet smell.

are u sure abt tht?? cx in an ester, the alcohol loses only a single Hydrogen atom and carboxylic acid loses OH! i guess uv mentioned the opposite????:confused:
Yes I am very sure that I didn't mention opposite
CH3COOH + C2H5OH ---> CH3COOC2H5 + H2O
You can check on google for esterification.

awesome man!! can u please give sum info about naming the appratus and the safety precautions while using them?
Naming the apparatus?
Just know,
Titrating flask - Your normal everyday flask.
To measure 25 cm^3, 50cm^3 accurately - Pipette.
To measure larger volumes approximately - Measuring cylinder.
To heat, stir, mix solutions - Beaker.
To collect (sometimes) and measure volume of gases - Gas syringe.
For titrating a liquid - Burette.

Precautions:
Use pipette carefully and don't suck in too much.
Carefully pour liquids into beakers/measuring cylinders, don't pour them on your hand.
Make sure you properly close the burette's tap and don't let it run.

That's all that I can think of. Hope that helps. :)

I solved the papers from 2003-2008. This guess paper is mostly (almost all of it) from the past papers.

yup ur rite! the equation is correct but those two oxygen atoms in the center are there because one came from the alcohol after H was gone and the other came from the acid after OH was gone.....
