It explains the titration method employed to measure free acid levels, involving neutralization reactions and indicators like phenolphthalein to indicate completion. The equivalence point is reached when acid and base moles are equal, indicated by a color change in the solution.

It explains condensation reactions, specifically how amino acids form dipeptides, and outlines esterification, which creates esters from alcohols and carboxylic acids. Additionally, it defines saponification as the alkaline hydrolysis of esters to produce soap.
