It is ethanoic acid i.e. also called as acetic acid.

It often freezes in winter and gets the ne glacial acetic acid .

Ethanoic acid reacting with ethanol in presence of acid catalyst gives a sweet smelling substance called ester.

Hope this helps

Compound X is Ethnoic acid (CH3COOH) and compound Y is Ethyl ethnoate (CH3COOC2H5)

(H2SO4)

CH3COOH + C2H5OH -------------------> CH3COOC2H5 + H2O

This reaction is called esterification.
