Esophagus is an anatomy organ and hasn't a chemical formula.
The esophagus is not directly involved in chemical digestion. Its main function is to transport food from the mouth to the stomach using peristaltic contractions. Chemical digestion primarily occurs in the stomach and small intestine, where enzymes break down food into nutrients that can be absorbed by the body.
Squamous cells in the esophagus form a protective barrier against mechanical and chemical damage caused by food and liquids passing through. They help in preventing infections and inflammation. The squamous cells in the esophagus also play a role in the process of swallowing by aiding in the smooth passage of food and liquids.
The gatekeeper of the esophagus is called the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). It is a muscular ring at the junction of the esophagus and stomach that helps to prevent stomach acid from flowing back into the esophagus.
The passageway for food that is behind the trachea is the esophagus. After swallowing, food travels down the esophagus to reach the stomach for digestion, while air goes down the trachea to enter the lungs for respiration.

Peristalsis. The movement of muscles bringing the food to the stomach.

Yes there is, because chemical is the saliva and you swallow the saliva.
No chemical or mechanical digestion occurs in the esophagus, only propulsion, which is one of the six digestive processes.
the physical change in the change in food when the enters esophagus is when it has a chemical breakdown in your mouth with a mechanical breakdown the chemical breakdown is when your salivia is making the food moist the mechanical is when you chew the food so it easier for it to enter the esophagus and so the salivia can get it moist then your esophagus uses muscles to push the food down into your stomache
Because it does not contain any chemical substance
While the pharynx and esophagus do not perform any mechanical or chemical digestive processes, they provide a critical service for the digestive system. They move food from the mouth to the stomach.

Chemical digestion occurs through out the digestive tract with the possible exception of the esophagus. It is regulated by enzymes that help speed it up.
