Dear Student,

◆ Answers with explaination -

# Given ester -

• Ethyl ethanoate (CH3COOC2H5)

# Raw materials -

• Ethanoic acid (CH3COOH)

# Process - Esterification -

• Reaction of alcohol and carboxylic acid in presence of conc.H2SO4 to produce an ester is called esterification reaction.

# Chemical equation -

CH3COOH + CH3CH2OH --> CH3COOCH2CH3 + H2O

• Reactants - Ethanol and ethanoic acid
• Main product - Ethyl ethanoate
• Byproduct - Water
