Question

what is esterification​

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.


When any alcohol reacts with a carboxylic acid, a sweet smelling compound called ester is formed. Following is the reaction

C2H5OH+CH3COOH→CH3COOC2H5+

H2O

here the products are ester(methyl ethanoate) and water
