Question

What is the conclusion of esterification expiriment

Answer 1

Conclusion. -The hypothesis made was correct; this experiment proved that esters can indeed be created by combining carboxylic acids and alcohols. ... Another source of error was that the ratio of carboxylic acid and alcohol might have slightly varied from each sample due to inaccurate measuring.

Answer 2

The conclusion of the esterification experiment is as follows:

• After a few hours of reflux using standard heating, the esterification reaction approaches equilibrium.
• Microwave heating in the CEM MARS 6 Synthesis microwave system is utilized to considerably speed up the process in this experiment.
• To bring the reaction to a close, both excess acetic acid and the elimination of water are used.
• At the end of the Fischer esterification operation, an IR spectrum of carboxylic acid was obtained.
• At the end of the Fischer esterification procedure, the IR spectra of a carboxylic acid, alcohol, and ester were obtained.
