undersetcarboxylic acid R- overset ||OC -OH + underset alcoholHO - R' xrightarrow H+ underset esterR - overset ||OC - OR' + H2 O Rate of reaction= k [carboxylic acid] [alcohol] So, order of reaction = 2

Q. The order of a reaction for an esterification process is

zero

first

second order

pseudo first order

$c a r b o x y l i c a c i d R - C ∣ ∣^{O} - O H + a l co h o l H O - R^{'} H^{+} es t er R - C ∣ ∣^{O} - O R^{'} + H_{2} O$
Rate of reaction= k [carboxylic acid] [alcohol]
So, order of reaction = 2

carboxylicacidR−C∣∣O−OH​+alcoholHO−R′​H+​esterR−C∣∣O−OR′​+H2​O Rate of reaction= k [carboxylic acid] [alcohol] So, order of reaction = 2

$c a r b o x y l i c a c i d R - C ∣ ∣^{O} - O H + a l co h o l H O - R^{'} H^{+} es t er R - C ∣ ∣^{O} - O R^{'} + H_{2} O$
Rate of reaction= k [carboxylic acid] [alcohol]
