What is fermentation |
Fermentation is the chemical reaction in which carbohydrates are converted into ethanol by yeast under Anaerobic conditions. |
|
|
Equation for fermentation |
|
|
|
Ethanol acid and reactive metals reaction |
This produces a salt and hydrogen gas |
|
|
Alkanoic acids and metal oxides |
This forms a salt and water |
|
|
Alkanoic acids and metal carbonates |
Produce a salt, Co2 and water |
|
|
Esterification |
Alkanoic acid + alcohol = ester Catalyst : conc H2SO4. Acts as a dehydrating agent to remove the water |
|
|
Acid hydrolysis of esters |
Ester is heated with acid catalyst (HCl or H2SO4) . Products : alkanoic acid + alcohol It is basically the reverse of esterification |
|
|
Alkaline hydrolysis |
Ester is heated with sodium or potassium hydroxide solution. The products are the sodium or potassium salt of the alkanoic acid and an alcohol |
|
|
Saponification |
Saponification is the alkaline hydrolysis of large esters found in animal fats and vegetable oil. Saponification is used to make soap |
|
|
Equation for saponification |
