Esterication is the reaction of a carboxylic acid (RCOOH) with an alcohol (R'OH) to form an ester (RCOOR') with loss of water. Equation [1] is an example of an intermolecular esterication reaction. Equation [2] is an example of an intramolecular esterication reaction; that is, the carboxylic acid and alcohol are contained in the same starting material, forming a cyclic ester as product. The equilibrium constants for both reactions are given. Explain why Keq is different for these two apparently similar reactions.
