compound A is ethanol which is used in making wine .structural formula= CH3CH2OH
Compound B is ethanoic acid which is used in making vineger.
structural formula=CH3COOH
when ethanol and ethanoic acid react in the presence of acid catylyst then ethyl ethanoate and water is formed .
The reaction is as follow:
CH3CH2OH + CH3COOH -------->CH3COOC2H5. + H2O.
I hope it help you.
