An organic compound A with molecular formula C2H4O2 on reaction with Sodium metal Na releases a gas B which readily catches fire. A on reacting with Ethanol in the presence of concentrated Sulphuric acid gives a sweet smelling substance C used in making perfumes.
Write a balanced chemical equation to represent these two reactions and identify the compounds A, B and C.

Compounds:
A - Ethanoic acid - CH₃COOH
B - Hydrogen - H₂
C - Ethyl Ethanoate(Ester) - CH₃COOC₂H₅
Reaction 1:
A + Na → a compound + B(↑)
2CH₃COOH + 2Na → 2CH₃COONa + H₂(↑)
Reaction 2:
A + Ethanol → C + water
CH₃COOH + C₂H₅OH → CH₃COOC₂H₅ + H₂O
