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.
