CH ₃ COOH when reacts with C ₂ H ₅ OH gives a product. The same product is obtained by which reaction?

Options

  1. AAcetic acid + methanol
  2. BAcetic anhydride + water
  3. CAcetic anhydride + ethanol
  4. DAcetamide + methanol

Correct answer

C. Acetic anhydride + ethanol

Step-by-step solution

Acids when react with alcohols form ester. Thus, CH ₃ COOH + C ₂ H ₅ OH CH ₃ COOC ₂ H ₅+ H ₂ O ethyl ethanoate
