Hello, is there anyone knows the kinetics data of methyl benzoate synthesis by fischer esterification?? (activation energy & E estimation methode, or any experiment that involve temperature variance),, I had trouble in calculate reaction rate constant by the function of temperature... I only have a batch experiment data on one temperature condition. I still can't find any helpful literature..

Thank you for the help...

Unfortunately, I cannot find any information on the kinetic data of the methyl benzoate synthesis by Fischer esterification. However, there are several articles that discuss the thermodynamic aspects of this reaction. One example is a study published in the journal Food Chemistry (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0308814618319236), which provides some insight into the effects of temperature on the reaction. You may also be able to find additional information by searching for papers that discuss the mechanism of the Fischer esterification reaction.
