Solution
- The reaction shown in the figure is esterification.
- Balanced equation of the reaction between ethanol and ethanoic acid is as follows:
\[\ce{\underset{\text{Ethanol}}{C2H5OH} + \underset{\text{Ethanoic acid}}{CH3COOH} ->[Conc.][H2SO4] \underset{\text{Ethyl ethanoate}}{CH3COOC2H5} + \underset{\text{Water}}{H2O}}\] - The product formed is ethyl ethanoate.
Use: It is used for making fragrances and flavouring agents. - The catalyst used in the reaction is concentrated sulphuric acid.

Esterification Reaction
Raina while doing certain reactions observed that heating of substance ‘X’ with a vinegar-like smell with a substance ‘Y’ (which is used as an industrial solvent.) in the presence of conc. Sulphuric acid in a water bath gives a sweet-smelling liquid ‘Z’ having molecular formula C4H8O2. When heated with caustic soda (NaOH), ‘Z’ gives back the sodium salt and the compound ‘Y’.
Identify ‘X’, ‘Y’, and ‘Z’. Illustrate the changes with the help of suitable chemical equations.
