Learn about condensation polymers: formed when a diol reacts with a dicarboxylic acid, producing a polyester and water. These polymers are used in fabrics and biodegradable materials like biopolyesters, which decompose quickly, helping to reduce landfill waste.

Learn about esters, formed when an alcohol reacts with a carboxylic acid in the presence of an acid catalyst like sulfuric acid. Esters are volatile, have fruity smells, and are used in perfumes and flavorings. For example, ethyl ethanoate, made from ethanol and ethanoic acid, smells faintly of pineapples.
