(a) Esterification (b) dehydration
(c) addition reaction
Answers
I can explain you dehydration
Dehydration is nothing but loss of water in our body causes a situation called dehydration. We can rehydration
Answer:
a)Esterification is a chemical reaction that occurs between the acid (usually carboxylic acid) and the alcohol (or compounds containing the hydroxyl group) where esters are obtained. The reaction takes place in acidic environments.
Esterification occurs when a carboxylic acid reacts with an alcohol. This reaction can only occur in the presence of an acid catalyst and heat. It takes a lot of energy to remove the -OH from the carboxylic acid, so a catalyst and heat are needed to produce the necessary energy.
b)A dehydration reaction is a conversion that involves the loss of water from the reacting molecule or ion. Dehydration reactions are common processes, the reverse of a hydration reaction. Common dehydrating agents used in organic synthesis include sulfuric acid and alumina. Often dehydration reactions are effected with heating.
The dehydration reaction of alcohols to generate alkene proceeds by heating the alcohols in the presence of a strong acid, such as sulfuric or phosphoric acid, at high temperatures. The required range of reaction temperature decreases with increasing substitution of the hydroxy-containing carbon: ... 3° alcohols: 25°– 80°C.
c)An addition reaction is a reaction in which one molecule combines with another to form a larger molecule with no other products.
is in its simplest terms an organic reaction where two or more molecules combine to form a larger one (the adduct). ... Molecules containing carbon—hetero double bonds like carbonyl (C=O) groups, or imine (C=N) groups, can undergo addition, as they too have double-bond character.
