A compounds X is fromed by the reaction of a carboxylic acid C_(2)H_(4)O_(2) and an alcohol in the presence of a few drops of H_(2)SO_(4). The alcohol on oxidation with alkalne KMnO_(4) followed by acidification gives the same carboxylicas used in this reaction. Give the names and structures of (a) carboxylic acid, (b) alcohol and (c ) the compound X. Also write the reaction.

A compounds X is fromed by the reaction of a carboxylic acid C_(2)H_(4

1.	A compounds X is fromed by the reaction of a carboxylic acid C_(2)H_(4)O_(2) and an alcohol in the presence of a few drops of H_(2)SO_(4). The alcohol on oxidation with alkalne KMnO_(4) followed by acidification gives the same carboxylicas used in this reaction. Give the names and structures of (a) carboxylic acid, (b) alcohol and (c ) the compound X. Also write the reaction.
Answer» Solution :(a) CARBOXYLIC acid is ethanoic acid ` ""H-underset(H)underset(\|)overset(H)overset(\|)C-overset(O)overset(\|\|)C-OH` (b) ALCOHOL is ethanol `""H-underset(H)underset(\|)overset(H)overset(\|)C-underset(H)underset(\|)overset(H)overset(\|)C-OH` (c ) X is ethyl ethanoate `""H-underset(H)underset(\|)overset(H)overset(\|)C-overset(H)overset(\|\|)C-O-underset(H)underset(\|)overset(H)overset(\|)C-underset(H)underset(\|)overset(H)overset(\|)C-H` `underset("Ethanoic acid")(CH_(3)-COOH)+underset("Ethanol")(C_(2)H_(5)OH) overset(H_(2)SO_(4))to underset("Ethyl ethanoate")(CH_(3)-COOC_(2)H_(5))+H_(2)O`
