Answer:

H2SO4 acts as a dehydrating agent when acetic acid reacts with ethyl alcohol and this process is called esterification. The reaction in which a carboxylic acid combines with an alcohol to form an ester is called esterification. When acetic acid reacts with ethyl alcohol, an ester is formed along with water.

Acetic acid, systematically named ethanoic acid is a colourless liquid organic compound with the chemical formula CH3COOH (also written as CH3CO2H, C2H4O2, or HC2H3O2). When undiluted, it is sometimes called glacial acetic acid. Vinegar is no less than 4% acetic acid by volume, making acetic acid the main component of vinegar apart from water. Acetic acid has a distinctive sour taste and pungent smell. In addition to household vinegar, it is mainly produced as a precursor to polyvinyl acetate and cellulose acetate. It is classified as a weak acid since it only partially dissociates in solution, but concentrated acetic acid is corrosive and can damage skin.
