\(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH}\) when reacts with \(\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{OH}\) gives a product. The same product is obtained by which reaction?
- A Acetic acid + methanol
- B Acetic anhydride \(+\) water
- C Acetic anhydride \(+\) ethanol
- D Acetamide \(+\) methanol
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Acetic anhydride \(+\) ethanol
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Acids when react with alcohols form ester. Thus,
\(
\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH}+\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{OH} \longrightarrow \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOC}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5}\) \(+~\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}
\)
ethyl ethanoate

\(
\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH}+\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{OH} \longrightarrow \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOC}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5}\) \(+~\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}
\)
ethyl ethanoate
