Esterification and Saponification
Esterification and Saponification
Esterification and Saponification:
When ethanol (an alcohol) reacts with acetic acid (a carboxylic acid) in the presence of an acid as catalyst a fruity (sweet) smelling liquid called ester is obtained. This reaction is called esterification.
Here, H2SO4 act as dehydrating agent, i.e. it removes water formed, otherwise ester formed will get converted into acid. The ester gets converted back into alcohol and sodium salt of acid when treated with alkali like sodium hydroxide. This reaction is called saponification, as it is used for the preparation of soap.
Reaction with carbonates and hydrogen carbonates: In the reaction of acetic acid with carbonates or hydrogen carbonates, carbon dioxide gas is obtained. It is an example of acid-base reaction.

My experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.
