Hey Friend,
Process -
Esterification - Condensation of an alcohol with an acid.
Reaction -
CH3COOH + C2H5OH ---> CH3-COO-C2H5 + H2O
Ethanoic acid + ethanol ---> ethyl ethanoate + water
Catalyst - Concentrated H2SO4 or dry HCl gas.
Explanation -
Ethyl ethanoate is an ester. And esters have fruity smell. This serves as a test for acetic acid!
Hope it helps!
