Question

describe with chemical equation how ethanoic acid may be obtained from methanol​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The reaction between methanol and ethanoic acidis known as esterification. During this reaction, Methyl acetate (or Methyl Ethanoate) is formed along with water. Also this reaction takes place in the presence of concentrated sulphuric acid, due to which the water is formed.

It can be summarized in a even shorter formula:-

CH3OH + CH3COOH (in the presence of conc.Sulphuric acid)———→ CH3COOCH3 + H2O

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

Answer:

ch3OH + CO2 =Ch3cooh +o2
