special characteristics of the group that is formed in estetification
Answers
Answer:
Physical properties and characterization
Esters are more polar than ethers but less polar than alcohols. They participate in hydrogen bonds as hydrogen-bond acceptors, but cannot act as hydrogen-bond donors, unlike their parent alcohols. This ability to participate in hydrogen bonding confers some water-solubility.
Esters and Formation of esters. Esters and water are formed when alcohols react with carboxylic acids. ... Since esterification is a reversible reaction, esters can undergo hydrolysis to form corresponding alcohol and organic acid.
Examples of Esters
Ethyl acetate (ethyl ethanoate) is an ester. The hydrogen on the carboxyl group of acetic acid is replaced with an ethyl group. Other examples of esters include ethyl propanoate, propyl methanoate, propyl ethanoate, and methyl butanoate.♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
Answer:
group formed after esterification is carboxylic acid
Explanation:
since we can see esterification reactions product is ethyl acetate whose formula is CH3COOC2H5
therefore it is a part of carboxylic acid (COO)
