How Is Le Chatliers Principle Used In Fisher Esterificatyion? The Fischer esterification reaction takes advantage of Le Chatelier’s principle to increase the amount of carboxylic acid that is esterified. The equilibrium is shifted towards products by using a large excess of the alcohol (it is used as the reaction solvent), and (in some cases) also
