A compound X is formed by the reaction of carboxylic acid having the molecular formula C2 H4 O2 and alcohol Y in the presence of concentrated H2 s o4 the same carboxylic acid is obtained by oxidation of alcohol Y name the compound X and Y give the chemical equation for the reaction

Open in App

Solution

X is ester i.e ethyl ethanoate
Y is ethanol i.e CH3CH2OH

1. CH3CH2OH+ CH3COOH ---> CH3COOCH2CH3 + H2O

2. CH3CH2OH + 2[O] ---> CH3COOH + H2O
