Answer 2

The compound 'X' is ethyl ethanoate.

The compound 'Y' is ethanol.

Explanation:

The reaction, thus, is given below:

$\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH}(\text { Carboxylic acid })+\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{OH}(\text { ethanol }) \rightarrow \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOCH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{3}(\mathrm{Ethyl}\text { ethanoate) }$

• This reaction occurs in the existence of concentrated $H_2 SO_4$. And, on oxidation, ethanol gives carboxylic acid with alkaline $KMnO_4$.
• This is an example of esterification reaction.  In this reaction, alcohols and phenols react with carboxylic acids, acid chlorides and acid anhydrides to form ester compounds.
