Esterification is a chemical reaction used for making esters. The reaction in which a Caboxylic acid combines with an alcohol in the presence of a catalyst (commonly concentrated sulfuric acid) to form an ester [CH3COOC2H5] is called Esterificatin reaction. It is a reversible reaction.
ActiveCaptain is a popular community-based sailing website that contains user-generated information about marinas, anchorages, marine hazards and local points of interest for sailing grounds around the world. Founded in 2007 by Jeff and Karen Siegel, the ActiveCaptain community now has more than 200,000 users. It began as a website but now there is a companion app, as well as a database for several smartphone and tablet navigation apps.
The fact that many navigation software programs will update their ActiveCaptain integration with a live Internet link is valuable itself, but the new Routes function within ActiveCaptain is going take us much farther. Let me back up a bit. On April 1, ActiveCaptain will roll out a new Routes capability to the ActiveCaptain experience that will allow you to upload, modify, save and share (sharing will start in May), GPX-formatted routes.
