can be used in an esterification reaction? the acid as a catalyst, and the phosphorus pentoxide as a dehydrating agent

You can use phosphoric acid, but it isn't quite as good a catalyst as sulfuric. P2O5 is generally not used directly IN the the reaction but rather is
exposed to the same headspace to absorb water.
