What is the difference between trans-esterification and esterification processes in methyl esters?

esterification -----> ROH + R'-COOH -------> R'COOR acid with alcohol gives ester transesterification ROH + R'COOR'' -------- > R'COOR change of alkyl group present with R'COO by using a alcohol if you want to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transesterification Esterification is the general name for a chemical reaction in which two reactants (typically an alcohol and an acid) form an ester as the reaction product. H3C-COOH + HO-CH2-CH3 → H3C-COO-CH2-CH3 + H2O Transesterification is the process of exchanging the alkoxy group of an ester compound with another alcohol. These reactions are often catalyzed by the addition of an acid or base.


What is the condensation reaction between acetic acid and ethanol?

Enzymatic effects of liver on hydrogen peroxide?

Enzymes are found in the liver and as you know enzymes are hightly specific biological catalysts. One of the enzymes that is found in liver is the enzyme called a peroxidase enzyme, whose job it is to break down any hydrogen peroxide that exists in the body. It is important to note the dependance on concentration of the enzyme, the PH of the system(as enzymes only like to work ay body ph). The peroxidase enzymes generally break up molecules in the form ROOR into ROH and R'OH where the chain length of R varies.
