at purpose does the sulfuric acid play in the Fischer esterification reaction? ect an answer and submit. For keyboard navigation, use the up/down arrow keys to select an answer. It forms an intermediate sulfonate ester intermediate which is attacked by the alcohol to produce product. It catalyzes the reaction by protonating the carboxylic acid, making it more susceptible to attack by the alcohol b nucleophile. It forms a sulfonate ester, converting the alcohol into a good leaving group, thereby speeding up the reaction. C It protonates the alcohol functional group, causing water to leave the molecule. The resulting carbocation attacks the carboxylic acid. Resul
