A compound X is formed by the reaction of a carboxylic acid C2H4Oa and an alcohol in presence of a few drops of H2SO4. The alcohol on oxidation with alkaline KMnO4 followed by acidification gives the same carboxylic acid as used in this reaction. Give the names and structure of:

  1. carboxylic acid
  2. alcohol and
  3. the compound X. Also write the reaction.
  1. Ethanoic acid (CH3COOH)
  2. Ethanol acid (CH3—CH2—OH)
  3. Ethyl ethanoate (CH3—COOCH2—CH3)
