Solution

The correct option is C

Methanol and propanoic acid


Esters are obtained from the reaction between carboxylic acid and alcohols. The reaction between methanol and propanoic acid in the presence of concentrated sulphuric acid leads to the formation of methyl propanoate, an ester.

CH3OH(aq)+CH3CH2COOH(aq)CH3CH2COOCH3(aq)+H2O(l)
