Which catalyst is used in esterification of glycerol with acetic acid?

Usually, the catalysts used for the acetylation (esterification with acetic acid) of glycerol are transition metallic oxides.For instance - ZrO2, WO3, TiO2, MoO3 and others.


Which catalyst is used in any esterification?

An acid catalyst is used can be in many forms such as sulfuric acid or ion-exchange resin.


Is sulphuric acid a positive catalyst?

Yes, it sometimes can catalyze esterification and nitration reactions


Why Sulfuric acid added to the esterification reaction?

works as a catalyst to speed up reaction


Which catalyst is used in esterification of peg-400 and steric acid?

It could be done by steglich estrification with DCC and DMAP.


What is the equation of the formation of 1-Pentyl Acetate?

If formed by esterification from pentanol and acetic acid it would be C5H11OH + CH3COOH (plus acid catalyst)------> C5H11OOCCH3 + H2O


What is the role of the mineral acids in the esterification process?

esterification is between an organic carboxylic acid and alcohol but sulphuric acid is required in mechanism which converts the carboxylic acid molecule into a carbonium ion which reacts with alcohol and forms an ester.

butyric acid


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.

What is the composition of butyric acid?

Butyric acid is also known as butanoic acid. It is a four carbon acid with a composition of CH3CH2CH2COOH. It is an acid which has an unpleasant smell.


Could dilute sulfuric acid be used as a catalyst for esterification?

Yes - but it is not very efficient - concentrated is much better. Dont forget that by adding dilute sulfuric acid you are adding water which is produced by the esterification reaction. Although a catalyst does not affect the position of equilibrium, adding a product does (and water is a product) - and so it is not ideal at all as the position of equilibrium is shifted back to starting materials by Le Chetalier's Principle.
