In \"Fischer esterification of acetic acid\" experiment: By choosing your solvent so that much of the ester separates out of solution, the yield of ester ----(is reduced, is increased, stayed the same) relative to what it would be if everything were homogeneous. If either the alcohol or carboxylic acid were very insoluble in water, the yield of ester would be -----(better, poorer, the same). Solution By choosing your solvent so that much of the ester separates out of solution, the yield of ester is increased relative to what it would be if everything were homogeneous. * Because the ester formed is separates out, to reach to the equilibirum the reaction occurs more and more towards forwarddirection. If either the alcohol or carboxylic acid were very insoluble in water, the yield of ester would be Poorer * SInce one of the reactant is not that much soluble it denies to be attacked by other reactant so actively. .
