experiment to study the formation of Easter - the reaction of ethanoic acid with ethanol in the presence of hot concentrated H2SO4 gives rise to the formation of Easter

CH3COOH + C2H5OH --------> CH3COOC2H5 (Easter) + H2O in the press of Δ concentered H2SO4

Mix ethanol and ethanoic acid in a test-tube along with sulphuric acid.
Heat the mixture well.

CH3COOH + C2H5OH------->CH3COOC2H5 + H2O.
Here CH3COOC2H5 is ethyl ethanoate and is the ester.

This is esterification reaction.

The water produced is removed by sulphuric acid which acts as a dehydrating agent.



Feel free to message me if you have any doubts.

May this year be prosperous and glorious for you.
