Question

Why is sulphuric acids used in reaction o ethanol n ethanolc acid

Answer 1

Answer:

concentrated h2so4 is used for esterification using ethanoic acid and ethanol to produce esters.the part that h2so4 is that it protonates the acid molecule, which thus become an electrophilic site.ethanol attacks the protonated molecule and thus the intermediate is formed.it is basically crucial to shift the equilibrium to the right and form the ester compound

Answer 2

Answer:

Actually, the reaction of ethanol and ethanoic acid is a reversible reaction... But on adding sulphuric acid, the reversible reaction may be prevented. The reaction is completed by removal of H2O...
