Question

Different between estrification and sopnification reaction with help of chemical reactions

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Esterification is the process by which esters are formed when an alcohol reacts with an acid in presence of conc. Sulphuric acid. R'OH + RCOOH +RCOOR' + H2O CH3CH2OH + CH3COOH + CH3COOC2H5 + H20 Saponification reaction is when ester reacts with NaOH, to form sodium salt of acid and alcohol. RCOOR' + NaOH +RCOONa+R'OH CH3COOC2H5 + NaOH + CH3COONa+ C2H5OH Esters are used in making perfumes, artificial flavouring agents, ice-creams, cold drinks. Saponification process is used in making soaps.

Explanation:

esterfication reaction: when an organic acid reacts with an alcohol in the presence of acid catalyst, it produces a sweet smelling substance called ester. this reaction is called esterfication reaction, e.g.,

CH3COOH + C2H50H ---------> CH3COOC2H5 +H2O

 

Saponification: ester reacts in the presence of an acid or a base to give back the alcohol and the carboxylic acid. this reaction is known as saponification because it is used in the preparation of soap.

 

CH3COOC2H5 -----------> CH3COOH + C2H5OH

 

This is also correct...

Answer 2

ESTERIFICATION

C2H5OH + CH3COOH = CH3COOC2H5

SAFONIFICATION

CH3COOH + NAOH = CH3COONA + H20
