The order of a reaction for an esterification process is:

A

Zero

B

First

C

Second

D

Pseudo first order

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`underset("Carboxylic acid")(R- overset(overset(O)(||))C - OH) + underset("Alcohol")(HO - R^(3) ) overset(H^(+)) to underset("Ester") (R - overset(overset(O)(||))C - OR + H_2 )O`
Rate of reaction = K [carboxylic acid] [alcohol]
So, order of reaction = 2
