Determining Kc for an esterification reaction
This practical uses the method of titration for you to determine the value of the equilibrium constant for the esterification reaction between ethanol and ethanoic acid. Although details of the reaction of alcohols with carboxylic acids to produce esters is no longer on the syllabus, you are still expected to be able to identify the ester functional group and Higher Level students will come across polyesters as...
