Chemical reaction of esterification and polymerization.

Question

Accepted Answer

Esterification is a chemical reaction between an alcohol and a carboxylic acid to form an ester. Polymerization is a process of combining monomers to form a polymer.

Esterification involves the removal of a water molecule from the alcohol and carboxylic acid to form an ester.
Polymerization can occur through addition or condensation reactions.
Examples of esterification include the production of fragrances and flavors.
Examples of polymerization include the formation of plastics and synthetic fibers.
