Answer ⇒ The name of the Reaction is the Esterification.
Explanation ⇒
Given Reaction is ⇒
CH₃-COOH + CH₃-OH → CH₃-COO- CH₃+ H₂O
In this Reaction, Acetic Acid(CH₃-COOH) reacts Methanol (CH₃-OH) to prepare Methyl Acetate (CH₃-COO- CH₃) and water. Reaction can be only possible in the Presence of the concentrated Sulphuric acid. This reaction is an example of the Esterification.
Methyl Acetate (CH₃-COO- CH₃) Produced in the Reaction can be detected by its fruity smell.
While writing this reaction, care must be taken that the conc. Sulfuric acid must be written at the top of the arrow. Otherwise It will create the drawback in the Reaction.
Thus, Better way to write the Equation is ⇒
CH₃-COOH + CH₃-OH ----Conc. H₂SO₄----→ CH₃-COO- CH₃+ H₂O
Hope it helps.
