Investigatory Project

The document discusses using esterification reactions to remove alcohol from the human body. Specifically, it aims to determine if organic acids can react with ethanol through esterification, eliminating alcohol. The theory section outlines the esterification reaction between ethanol and acetic acid that produces ethyl acetate and water. This reaction may be used to remove alcohol from the body. The document also acknowledges those who provided guidance for the investigatory project.

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.
