Answer:
Esterification is a chemical reactionthat forms at least one ester (= a type of compound produced by reactionbetween acids and alcohols). Estersare produced when acids are heated with alcohols in a process calledesterification. An ester can be made by an esterification reaction of a carboxylic acid and an alcohol.
