Question

define esterification, any mallus here​

Answer 1

Answer:

Esterification is a chemical reaction that forms at least one ester (= a type of compound produced by reaction between acids and alcohols).An ester can be made by an esterification reaction of a carboxylic acid and an alcohol. Esterification is a chemical reaction that forms at least one ester.

Answer 2

Esterification is the process of producing organic esters.

• Esterification is a chemical organic reaction in which the reactants are alcohol and acid which form an ester as the reaction product.
• Esters are common in organic chemistry and biological materials, and often have a pleasant characteristic, fruity odour.
• The R-group of acid attaches to the carbon atom of ester and the R-group of alcohol attaches to the oxygen atom of ester.
• The general formula of esters is RCOOR'. A reaction as an example is given below:

$CH_{3}COOH+CH_{3}CH_{2}OH$ → $CH_{3}COOCH_{2}CH_{3}+H_{2}O$
