Q: What is the product of the reaction between a carboxylic acid and an alcohol?
Solution:
The reaction between a carboxylic acid and an alcohol produces an ester.
Steps: 7
Show Steps
Step 1: Identify the two reactants: a carboxylic acid and an alcohol.
Step 2: Understand that a carboxylic acid has a functional group called -COOH.
Step 3: Recognize that an alcohol has a functional group called -OH.
Step 4: When these two react, they undergo a process called esterification.
Step 5: During esterification, the -OH from the carboxylic acid and the -H from the alcohol combine to form water (H2O).
Step 6: The remaining parts of the carboxylic acid and alcohol bond together to form an ester.
Step 7: The final product of the reaction is an ester.
