Q.

(i) Name the distinctive reaction that takes place when ethanol is treated with acetic acid.$\left(2015\right)$
(ii) Give the balanced chemical equations for the
above reaction.

Q.

An ester (X) on hydrolysis gives an acid 'A' and alcohol 'B'. The sodium salt of 'A' on electrolysis gives ethane. When 'B' is distilled with aqueous bleaching powder it forms chloroform. Therefore 'X' may be
