Solution

The chemical equation for the reaction of ethanol to form compound B is given as,
$C H_{3} C O O H + C_{2} H_{5} O H \to C_{4} H_{8} O_{2}$ ethyl ethanoate + water
Ethanol and Acetic acid react to form Ethyl acetate and water according to the equation: $C_{2} H_{5} O H^{+}$ . When 2 moles each of ethanol and acetic acid are allowed to react at 100 degrees celsius in a sealed tube, equilibrium is established when $\frac{2}{3}$ of a mole of each of the reactants remains.
