carboxlic acid +B give esters
Answers
Explanation:
Esters are produced when carboxylic acids are heated with alcohols in the presence of an acid catalyst. The catalyst is usually concentrated sulphuric acid. Dry hydrogen chloride gas is used in some cases, but these tend to involve aromatic esters (ones containing a benzene ring).
Explanation:
esters are slightly soluble in water. However, because esters do not have a hydrogen atom to form a hydrogen bond to an oxygen atom of water, they are less soluble than carboxylic acids.
Esters and water are formed when alcohols react with carboxylic acids. This reaction is called esterification, which is a reversible reaction. This type of reaction is called a condensation reaction, which means that water molecules are eliminated during the reaction.
