Question

write the balanced chemical equation for ethanoic acid reacts with ethanol in the presence of an acid​

Answer 1

CH3COOH + CH3CH2OH➡️ CH3COOC2H5 + H2O

(in presence of H+)

CH3COOC2H5 is ESTER

Answer 2

Answer :-

Ester ( ethyl ethanoate) and water are the bi-products of the reaction between ethanoic acid and ethanol.

                                                conc. H2SO4

CH3COOH(l) + C2H5OH(l) <===============> CH3COOCH2CH3(l) + H2O(l)

                                                 Heat

Below are elements in the above reaction.

CH3COOH refers to ethanoic acid

C2H5OH refers to ethanol

CH3COOCH2CH3 refers to Ester

H2O refers to water
