What else is water except of a acid?

water is H2O, as liquid you can have alcohols, esters...


Why are fats esters?

Organic acids react with alcohols to form an ester and water. Fats are made up of 3 molecules of carboxylic acids (organic acid) and 1 molecule of glycerol (alcohol). So fats are esters.


Carboxylic acid can be prepared by?

1- oxidation of alcohols or aldehydes, 2- hydrolysis of nitriles, 3- hydrolysis of esters, 4- reactions of Grignard's reagents with dry ice.


What is the equation for the preparation of ketones from secondary alcohols?

You can only make any ketone from any secondary alcohol by using PCC, Jones reagent, or NaCr2O4 in acid as a reagent.


What is the function of concentrated sulfuric acid in reactions?

H2SO4 acts as a catalyst to speed up the reaction between the various alcohols and carboxylic acids in order to form esters and water as product


What is carnauba wax?

Carnauba wax is the wax that is derived from a northeaster Brazilian fan palm. Its wax is made up of aliphatic esters, diesters, carboxylic acids and fatty acid alcohols.


What is the formula for artificial flavoring?

Some flavors (not necessarily all) are called esters, and they are the chemical combination of an acid with an alcohol. Different combinations of various acids and alcohols will produce different flavors and aromas. There are ways to produce the same ester molecules other than combining acids and alcohols. See link for more information, and a list of some of the flavors whose esters it is possible to produce.


What ester is produced from salicylic acid and methyl alcohol?

Organic acids and alcohols are reacted (in the presence of a dehydrating agent) to produce esters. And these substances are often recognized by their characteristic odors. In the case here, salicylic acid and methyl alcohol yield methyl salicylate, which is winter-green.


What class of molecules contain the carbonyl group CO?

There are many. Aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, amides, esters, acid anhydrides and organo-metallic compounds such as Iron Pentacarbonyl etc contain the -C=O group.


What are esters made from malic acid?

It depends which alcohol the acid has combined with.


What are the products of esters?

a carboxylic acid + an alcohol
