Question

what is esterification

​

Answer 1

Answer:

esterification, a reaction in which a carboxylic acid and an alcohol, heated in the presence of a mineral acid catalyst, form an ester and water:

Explanation:

A commercially important esterification reaction is condensation polymerization, in which a reaction occurs between a dicarboxylic acid and a dihydric alcohol (diol), with the elimination of water. Such a reaction yields an ester that contains a free (unreacted) carboxyl group at one end and a free alcohol group at the other end. Further condensation reactions then occur, producing polyester polymers.

The most important polyester, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), is made from terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol monomers

Answer 2

Answer--- ☑

✭⁍ Chemical reaction that form at

least one ester (type of compound

produced by reaction between acid

and alcohol). Ester are produced

when acid are heated with alcohols

in a process called esterification.
