What is the process of making aspirin?
Aspirin is made when salicylic acid and acetic anhydride is reacted in the presence of an acid catalyst such as H2SO4. Acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) and acetic acid is formed. The reaction is an esterification reaction.
How do you write esterification equations?
Esterification Reaction: When an alcohol ( mostly primary) alcohol is treated with carboxylic acid in the presence of H2 SO4 sweet smelling compound is formed which is called ester. The reaction is know as esterification reaction.
Meaning of esterification?
esterification is the formation of esters between the reaction of alkanol and alkanoic acid
What is the name of the reverse reaction of esterification?
hdrolysis
Why is saponification reaction is considered to be the reverse of an esterification reaction?
saponification is considered to be the reverse process of an esterification reaction due to the fact that esterification is combining an alcohol and a carboxylic acid but a saponification is breaking apart the ester by adding an NaCl molecule (soap) to the chain of carbons.
Why is an esterification reaction referred to as an elimination reaction?
Because a water molecule is a product of the reaction
Why Sulfuric acid added to the esterification reaction?
works as a catalyst to speed up reaction
Is sucrose a hydrolysis reaction or a condensation reaction?
condensation reaction
The reaction between alcohols and organic acids will form.?
esterification
Is aspirin synthesis an esterification reaction?
no, it is the combining of 2 acids into a new acid.
What is another name for condensation reaction?
A condensation reaction is a chemical reaction where man-made polymers are made. Condensation reaction is a reaction that links monomers with the release of water.
Why has isotopic labelling been used in esterification reaction?
Isotopic labeling is used in the study of esterification to keep track of an atoms passage. This is done by a variation of a cell, a reaction, or a metabolic pathway. Isotopic labeling will find the quantitative analysis.
