Concept introduction:
In a condensation reaction, removal of water molecule takes place. Thus,
Explanation of Solution
Let’s take the general representation of a carboxylic acid and an alcohol as RCOOH and R’OH respectively.
The condensation reaction between acid and alcohol is represented as follows:
Here,
The mechanism for the reaction is represented as follows:
Thus, the products formed after the condensation reaction of a carboxylic acid and alcohol are ester and water.
