- Ester formation and ester hydrolysis are exactly the same reaction only written in reverse. General reaction of ester formation: H*, heat R—с—он + Н—о—R' R—с—о-R' + H,O carboxylic acid alcohol carboxylic or phenol ester General reaction of ester hydrolysis: || R—с—OR' + H—оН R—с—оН +R—ОH ester carboxylic acid alcohol or phenol What determines which direction the reaction proceeds and what actually forms? o the boiling point of the carboxylic acid o the presence (or absence) of heat as well as the concentration of reactants and products o the molecular weight of reactants and products o the presence (or absence) of heat as well as the catalystarrow_forwardDraw the organic product formed when the following compounds undergo a substitution reaction: (a) acetic acid and methylamine; (b) butanoic acid and 2-propanol; (c) formic acid and 2-methyl-1-propanol.arrow_forwardIdentify which of the following statement(s) is/are true.
