An acetylase is an enzyme which catalyzes the formation of acetate esters.
esterification is the formation of esters between the reaction of alkanol and alkanoic acid
Soap is formed by the hydrolysis of fats by lye, not the hydrolysis of esters. The lye strips the 3 fatty acids from the glycerine in the fats and reacts with the free fatty acids producing soap, this process is called saponification.
Such compounds are mostly esters.
No, esters are covalent compounds having polar character.
No, but esters do react with some acids.
Esters cannot form hydrogen bonds with other esters because there wouldn't be enough room on the molecules to support the hydrogen bonding (octet rule).
Esters are compounds that form when organic acids react with alcohols.
Esters are flavorings. They are also used with perfumes.
Esters are neutral compounds
esters are usually prepared industrially by reaction of corresponding carboxylic acid and alcohol.
Esters are aromatic, you would smell them - the smell of pineapple is an ester.
