works as a catalyst to speed up reaction
Because the esterification process is reversible, and we need the reaction to be one-way, the addition of sulphuric acid as a dehydrating agent stops the water from reacting with the ester to form back into an acid and alcohol. The sulphuric acid also acts as a catalyst for the reaction by protonating the carbonyl group oxygen, thus making the carbonyl group more electrophilic
Sugar Dehydration occurs when sugar is added to sulfuric acid, in the reaction the sugar is broken down into graphite which is black and bubbles with the escaping vapor. This reaction is a exothermic reaction.
The product of 1-propanol and acetic acid is the compound propyl acetate. This compound is formed through the esterification process, which is a reaction of a carboxylic acid with an alcohol in the presence of a substance like sulfuric acid.
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.
The chemical reaction between iron and dilute sulfuric acid is a redox reaction. The iron reacts with the sulfuric acid to form iron(II) sulfate and hydrogen gas. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is: 2 Fe + 3 H2SO4 -> Fe2(SO4)3 + 3 H2

esterification is the formation of esters between the reaction of alkanol and alkanoic acid
It depends on the solid!

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

no, it is the combining of 2 acids into a new acid.

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.
Yes,they can undergo a neutralization reaction, the reaction between sulfuric acid and ammonia is feasible.
