The ease that a liquid turns into a gas. Increases as boiling point decreases
1 of 9
Reflux
The continual boiling and condensing of a reaction mixture to ensure that the reaction takes place without the contents of the flask boiling dry
2 of 9
Esterification
The reaction of an alcohol with a carboxylic acid to produce an acid and water
3 of 9
Dehydration
An elimination reaction in which water is removed from a saturated molecule to make an unsaturated molecule
4 of 9
Hydrolysis
A reaction with water or aqueous OH- ions that breaks a chemical compound into two compounds
5 of 9
Nucleophilic Substitution
Type of substitution reaction in which a nucleophile is attracted to an electron-deficient centre or atom, where it donates a pair of electrons to form a new covalent bond
