The wet paper towel at the top of the test tube in esterification serves to maintain a humid environment, which helps prevent the evaporation of volatile components during the reaction. It also acts as a barrier to moisture, ensuring that water does not enter the test tube and interfere with the reaction between the alcohol and the carboxylic acid. This setup helps in optimizing the conditions for ester formation and enhances the yield of the ester product.

You get wet cellulose molecules.This is so easy to test it's not even a real experiment. Get a paper towel and dunk it in water. You'll get a wet paper towel, right? There hasn't been any phase transformation or anything fancy; your paper towel is now wet, and if you set it on the counter for a little while the water will evaporate and you'll have a dry paper towel again. Cellulose can absorb water, but it just acts as a container--like a really small drinking glass.
