It is the reversible reaction between carboxylic acid and alcohol
RCOOH + ROH ---> RCOOR + H2O
In order to get good yield
**,we should use large excess of
reactants
**by the removal of water or ester formed
Thus removal of water/products will shift equilibrium towards
products
Addition of large excess reactant also shift towards product
So answer is
Addition of water to the flask
***********************
A Fischer Esterification reaction is an equilibrium reaction that does not favor the formation of product....
Which of the following conditions will drive the equilibrium of the Fischer esterification towards ester formation? addition of water removal of water as it is formed addition of an inorganic acid as a catalyst addition of alcohol both B and D Esters and amides are most easily made by nucleophilic acyl substitution reactions on: carboxylic acids carboxylates alcohols acid chlorides acid anhydrides
