10.2 Reactions of alcohols with carboxylic acids to form esters + uses [SL IB Chemistry]

preview_player
Показать описание
Reacting an alcohol with a carboxylic acid in warm sulphuric acid produces an ester and water. This is a condensation reaction (a small extra molecule is produced -- in this case water). The sulphuric acid acts as a catalyst. The equation is in equilibrium.

Esters have a "fruity" smell (mostly), and are found in fruit. They also make good solvents due to their intermediate polarity (not polar -- not really non-polar!). They are also highly flammable.

Dr Atkinson wants to know which detergent will remove burnt fruit and melted stormtrooper armour.

Great, I will find out how useful the vids really were! Don't underestimate the options either - people always think they remember them, but you need to do the ppapers for them too.

i thought the OH. of the water molecule come from the carboxylic acid instead of the alcohol

Previously i saw the same mechanism on khan academy where they displayed that the oxygen atom from alcohol is present in ester whereas the acid's oxygen forms part of water molecule
I am really confused!!
Please help me out

Can esterification occur without adding catalyst??? Plz ❤
