(a) how do the boiling point and melting point change in the homologous series of alcohols?(b) Name the product formed when ethanol reacts with acetic acid. Give an equation.(c) What is the name given to this type of reaction?

Answer»

(a) The melting and boiling point of the successive members of the homologous series of alcohols increase with the increase in molecular mass.

(b) When ethanol reacts with acetic acid ethyl acetate is formed.

C2H5OH + CH3COOH + Conc.H2SO4 CH3COOC2H5 + H2O
