Question

2. Write the chemical equation for its
reaction with ethanol to produce
compound 'Y​

Answer 1

CH3COOH+CH3CH2OH→CH3COOC2H5   is the correct and balanced equation to represent the given chemical reaction.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the reaction of ethanol to form compound B is given as,

$CCHCOOH+C2H5OH→C4HHO2$

ethyl ethanoate + water

Ethanol and Acetic acid react to form Ethyl acetate and water according to the equation: C2H5OH . When 2 moles each of ethanol and acetic acid are allowed to react at 100 degrees celsius in a sealed tube, equilibrium is established when $3/2$of a mole of each of the reactants remains.
