The reaction between an organic acid and an alcohol in the presence of an acid catalyst is known as;
- saponification
- dehydration
-
esterification
- hydrolysis
The correct answer is: C
Explanation
Esterification is a chemical reaction that forms at least one ester (= a type of compound produced by reaction between acids and alcohols). Esters are produced when acids are heated with alcohols in a process called esterification. An ester can be made by an esterification reaction of a carboxylic acid and an alcohol.
