Question

Esterification is an-

Nucleophilic substitution

Electrophilic substitution​

Answer 1

Answer:

Nucleophilic acyl substitution is the correct answer..

Explanation:

Esterification is the process of combining an organic acid (RCOOH) with an alcohol (ROH) to form an ester (RCOOR) and water; or a chemical reaction resulting in the formation of at least one ester product. Ester is obtained by an esterification reaction of an alcohol and a carboxylic acid.

Answer 2

Answer:

Esterification is an equilibrium reaction

Explanation:

Esterification is an equilibrium reaction to form ester mainly from alcohols and carboxylic acids. Esters can also be made from the reactions between acyl chlorides (acid chlorides) and alcohols, and from acid anhydrides and alcohols. Here carboxylic acid and alcohol reacts to form an ester. Thus this is an esterification reaction.
