Explanation:
There is a very exothermic reaction in which a steamy acidic gas is given off (hydrogen chloride). Ethyl ethanoate (an ester) is formed. The first stage (the addition stage of the reaction) involves a nucleophilic attack on the fairly positive carbon atom by one of the lone pairs on the oxygen of an ethanol molecule.
