7.3 Making Esters 7.3.1. Condensation Reactions LO: I understand what is meant by a condensation reaction.
A condensation reaction occurs when two molecules join together to make a larger one. A small molecule by-product is also produced. For example: ethanoic acid + methanol methyl ethanoate + water LO: I understand how to make an ester.
7.3.2 Ester Formation LO: I know how to make an ester
The reaction mixture is a acid and an . carboxylic alcohol The reaction is . using concentrated sulphuric acid. catalysed LO: I know how to make an ester The cold water condenser prevents the ester from escaping. volatile The ester forms as a on top of the mixture. layer
