Question 8
Question
being [blank_start]weak acids[blank_end], carboxylic acids [blank_start]partially[blank_end] dissociate in aqueous solution to form oxonium ions ([blank_start]H3O+[blank_end]) and carboxylate ions ([blank_start]RCOO-[blank_end])
In esterification reactions, [blank_start]carboxylic acids[blank_end] react with [blank_start]alcohols[blank_end] in the presence of a [blank_start]strong acid[blank_end] catalyst when heated under [blank_start]reflux[blank_end]. This is a [blank_start]reversible[blank_end] reaction.
