AIM

The objective is to determine if organic acids can

react effectively with ethanol in an esterification
reaction, and possibly be used to eliminate
alcohol from the human body.

THEORY:
REACTIONS: 1. Actual esterification reaction
C2H5OH + CH3COOH  CH3COOC2H5 + H20
Ethyl alcohol+Acetic acid+Ethyl acetate+Water

2.Pre-esterification reaction
2CH3COOH+Ca(OH) CH3COO-Ca-OOCCH+2H2O
Acetic Acid+Calcium+Calcium Acetate+Water
hydroxide
 3.Modified esterification reaction
2C2H5OH + CH3COO-Ca-OOCCH3
2CH3COOC2H5 + 2H20

 I.INTRODUCTION
All across the globe consumption of
alcohol is increasing day by day or
rather has become a trend. Youngsters
have fallen for this and start consuming
alcohol at an early age. Alcohol
consumption gives rise to serious
health disorders. It damages liver
causing liver cirrhosis, shows a range
short term and long term, disorders on
brain and central nervous system and
also affects the reproductive organs. To
tackle these problems and to
contribute to a healthy living, we came
up with this idea of reducing alcohol to
ester using esterification reaction.
