media type="custom" key="23558986" There are several PD videos posted at @http://www.nelson.com/onsciencepd. The videos are intended for use by both teachers and students. Teachers can share the link with students to help them learn to use the resources as well and then you don't have to spend as much time teaching the how to's of the online interface.

If you use acetic acid, you'll form water as a product instead, which is not as thermodynamically favorable relative to the acid and alcohol starting materials. Nevertheless, it can work, particularly from glacial acetic acid. an analogous reaction between methanol and salicylic acid to produce methyl salicylate works fine. i would expect a lower yield, which might make an interesting class experiment." ||  || =media type="custom" key="23720954"= =YouTube Videos= -created by a Pennsylvania high school student || @http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3FCHVlSZc4&feature=fvw || || || ||
