the reaction between FFA and methanol is an equlibrium when catalysed by an acid FFA + methanol <==> Me ester + water so the reaction is driven to the right by an excess of methanol (the reaction you want) but is driven to the left by an excess of water, so my guess is that you need to get

I would not do it. If they discover it and it is a good chance, they will disconnect you. You have to pay a new connection fee (very expensive) and they could even report you to the police. It is not worth the risk. If it is so bad, you would probably get an extension, if you ask, or help from so

Dear Colton (and indirectly Girl Mark), I think pH meters are very stable and reliable instruments these days. But you have to rememebr that they measure the hydrogen ion concentration in a solvent that allows ionisation such as water. (Indeed, the pH scale is devised so that pH 7 is as neutra
