a) Write a mechanism for the esterifi cation of propanoic acid with 18O-labeled ethanol. Showclearly the fate of the 18O label. (b) Acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of an unlabeled ester with18O-labeled water (H218O) leads to incorporation of some 18O into both oxygens of the carboxylicacid product. Explain by a mechanism.
