  • Esterification Reaction and equilibrium constant determination.

    Esterification Reaction and equilibrium constant determination.

    Esterification is a common organic reaction that involves the reaction of a carboxylic acid with an alcohol to form an ester and water. In this experiment, we will be carrying out an esterification reaction to test the equilibrium position at different temperatures using ethanoic acid and ethanol. Safety precautions: • Wear personal protective equipment (PPE)…
