Interpretation:
Reaction conditions should be explained so that acid reacts with alcohol.
Concept introduction:
A process in which reactants transform to give different substances called products is known as a
Answer to Problem 1E
By the esterification reaction.
Explanation of Solution
The reaction between alcohols and carboxylic acids takes place to give esters. Esters have a general formula RCOOR’. Here, R group is from carboxylic acid and R’ group is from alcohol. The alcohol is normally used as solvent so it is present in excess amount. The general esterification reaction is represented as follows:
Here, water is a byproduct.
