What is the difference between a hydrolysis and neutralization reaction?

Answer 1

1. Esterification involves the reaction between an alkanol and alkanoic acid while neutralization involves an acid and a base.

2. Esterification produces ester and water as product while neutralization produces salt and water only.

3. Esterification is a reversible reaction while neutralization is not.

Esterification occurs in the presence of a mineral acid which act as a catalyst and also a as a dehydrating agent while neutralization can occur without been in the presence of a mineral acid.

Answer 2

A hydrolysis reaction involves breaking down a compound using water, typically resulting in the formation of an acid and a base. Neutralization, on the other hand, is a reaction between an acid and a base to form water and a salt. In hydrolysis, water is a reactant, whereas in neutralization, water is a product.

Answer 3

In neuralization acid and base are reactant.....As compare to hydrolysis salt and water are reactant

Answer 4

Acid + alcohol reacts to give ester and water (esterification)

Acid + base reacts to give salt and water (neutralisation)

Answer 5

Esterification is a reversible reaction while,Neutralization is not a reversible

Answer 6

Difference between hydr
