A Study of the Equilibrium in the Alcoholysis of Esters (1917)

""A Study of the Equilibrium in the Alcoholysis of Esters"" is a scientific research book written by Jessie Elizabeth Minor and published in 1917. The book explores the chemical reaction known as alcoholysis, which involves the breakdown of esters using alcohols. Minor's research focuses specifically on the equilibrium point of this reaction, which is the point at which the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction. The book provides a detailed analysis of the factors that affect this equilibrium point, including temperature, concentration, and the nature of the ester and alcohol involved. Minor's research is based on a series of experiments, which are described in detail in the book. Overall, ""A Study of the Equilibrium in the Alcoholysis of Esters"" is an important contribution to the field of chemistry and provides valuable insights into the behavior of chemical reactions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
