Question

Explain Esterification reaction in brief.

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

The reaction in which CARBOXYLIC ACID when treated with ALCOHOL in the presence of concenyrated H2SO4 forms esters is called esterification reaction.

The reaction in which CARBOXYLIC ACID when treated with ALCOHOL in the presence of concenyrated H2SO4 forms esters is called esterification reaction.e.g. CH3COOH + C2H50H >CH3COOC2H5 +H20
