balanced equations

In preparation of esters given in an experiment, the reaction product was extracted with 5% sodium bicarbonate solution(NaHCO3) in the isolation step. Why? What gas was evolved during this washing step? Write the balanced equation for the reaction that produced it.

Structures

Draw the structures of the two fatty acids below and determine their common name Hexadecanoic acid Octadecanoic acid

Specific Rotation - A sample of 150 mg of an rganic compound is dissolved in 7.5 mL of water. The solution is placed in a 20-cm polarimeter tube and the rotation measured in a polarimeter. The rotation observed was +2.676 degrees. Distilled water in the same tube gave a reading of +0.016 degrees. Calculate the specific rotation for the compound.
