Answer:

Concentrated H2SO4 can transfer one of its H+ to H3C-COOH, yielding protonated acetic acid:

H2SO4 + H3C-COOH → HSO4- + H3C-C(OH)OH+

This is the primary acid-base reaction that does occur, the H2SO4 acting as a Bronsted-Lowry acid and H3CCOOH acting as a base.

In principle you won’t get any water formed, because there is no hydroxide (MOH, M = metal) acting as a base.

PD: Water can be only formed if dehydration occurs. Dehydration is thus promoted by the H2SO4:

H3C-COOH + H3C-C(OH)OH+ → H3C-CO(O)CO-CH3 + H2O + H+

But strictly, water is not a product of the acid-base reaction between H2SO4 and acetic acid.
