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.
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.
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.
Why is there low yield in an elimination reaction?
Many times your are removing heavy atoms during an elimination 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 Sulfuric acid added to the esterification reaction?
works as a catalyst to speed up reaction

What is Dehydrohalogenation reaction?
basically its an elimination reaction
Why is there low yield in an elimination reaction?

A dehydration reaction can also be called a?
An "elimination" reaction or "condensation" reaction.
What is the function of boiling chips in the esterification reaction?
most of the carboxylic acids used during esterification are very volatile. boiling chips are added to maintain a smooth heating of the mixture and to prevent a voilent heating.
