Answer:

Description: When a carboxylic acid is treated with an alcohol and an acid catalyst, an ester is formed (along with water). This reaction is called the Fischer esterification. Notes: The reaction is actually an equilibrium. The alcohol is generally used as solvent so is present in large excess.
