Are you sure you've posted in the right place? :smile:

Here's a link to our subject forum which should help get you more responses if you post there. :redface:

You can also find the Exam Thread list for A-levels here and GCSE here. :dumbells:

Yep, that's right. An acyl chloride and an alcohol will form an ester and hcl.

As you probably already know, alcohols can also be mixed with carboxylic acids to form esters and water.
Esters can also be formed by mixing acid anhydrides and and alcohols.
