ESTERIFICATION REACTIONS-ORGANIC CHEMISTRY

[@samanthamungela1652]

I never thought I would ever understand this, you’re a great teacher!

[@roipop]

Glad the approach used made you understand. All the best...

[@teekay07.]

aren't we supposed to take O-H from carboxylic & one H from alcohol so tht they will be one O left in both alcohol & carboxyic acid???..

[@promisemalimabe1848]

We should

[@nokhanyamohlala5482]

correct

[@waleratosefhemo9027]

no ! acids react by giving away hydrogen ions only

[@QhamaNtsangani]

That's the best method used👏👏🎉

[@amitanita4876]

How about base? Can i base be catalyst for esterification reaction? Ex: OH-

You're the best😭❤️❤️

Hi Sir. Thank you, this was very helpful. But I think when you did the Questions, in your answer to number one you broke the OH off the alcohol instead of off the carboxylic acid, am I right in saying when you eliminate water from the reaction, each of the two compounds left over should be left with one O?

[@dorajona6627]

Does it matter if we take OH from the acid instead???

[@roipop]

yes it does and it affects you alcohol and carboxylic type....

Thank you sir you just don't know how much I've been helped ❤

[@roipop]

Happy to hear that!
