On the basis of chemical property :
If we add ethanoic acid to ethanol then fruity smelling ester will be obtained.
On the other hand , if we add ethanoic acid to ethanoic acid , then no reaction occurs.
The reaction will take place under an acidic medium such as concentrated sulphuric acid.
This is a test to distinguish chemically .
