The following reaction is an equilibrium and iscatalyzed by strong acid.
Carboxylic acid + alcohol → ← ester + water
You have an alcohol, a carboxylic acid, an ester, andwater with a little sulfuric acid in a reaction flask inequilibrium. Which of the following changes will increase thepercent of ester present? (This reaction is not particularlyendothermic or exothermic.) Select all thatapply
A) Remove some water and allow equilibrium to bereestablished.
B) Add more water and allow equilibrium to bereestablished.
C) Increase the temperature and allow equilibrium to bereestablished
D) Add more sulfuric acid and allow equilibrium to bereestablished.
E) Reduce the temperature and allow equilibrium to bereestablished.
