The correct answer is Esterification.
Key Points
- Esterification -
- Acid + Alcohol = Ester
- It is a chemical reaction that forms at least one ester.
- Esters are produced when acids are heated with alcohol.
Additional Information
- Crystallization -
- The process of obtaining a pure solid in the form of crystals from a saturated solution is called crystallization.
- In crystallization, the solution is first evaporated to separate a solid from the solution.
- When the solution becomes very concentrated, the solution is cooled slowly by stopping evaporation, causing crystals to form.
- Saponification -
- The saponification of a fat or oil is done by using NaOH solution for the hot process.
- Saponification to the sodium salt of myristic acid takes place with NaOH in water.
- Soap is formed by a chemical reaction by heating an aqueous solution of vegetable oil or fat and caustic soda or caustic potash, and glycerol is liberated.
