The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step-by-step, we will analyze the reactions given and identify the compounds 'A' and 'B'. ### Step 1: Identify the reaction of acetic acid with lithium aluminium hydride (LiAlH₄) - The first part of the reaction is: \[ \text{CH}_3\text{COOH} \overset{\text{LiAlH}_4}{\rightarrow} A \] - Acetic acid (CH₃COOH) is a carboxylic acid. Lithium aluminium hydride (LiAlH₄) is a strong reducing agent that can reduce carboxylic acids to primary alcohols. - Therefore, when acetic acid is treated with LiAlH₄, it will be reduced to ethanol (C₂H₅OH). ### Step 2: Determine the structure of compound A - From the reduction of acetic acid, we find that: \[ A = \text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{OH} \quad (\text{Ethanol}) \] ### Step 3: Identify the reaction of compound A with acetic acid in the presence of H₃O⁺ - The second part of the reaction is: \[ A + \text{CH}_3\text{COOH} \overset{\text{H}_3\text{O}^+}{\rightarrow} B + \text{H}_2\text{O} \] - Here, ethanol (A) reacts with acetic acid in the presence of an acid catalyst (H₃O⁺). This reaction is known as esterification, where an alcohol reacts with a carboxylic acid to form an ester and water. ### Step 4: Determine the structure of compound B - The reaction of ethanol with acetic acid will produce ethyl acetate (an ester): \[ B = \text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{OCOCH}_3 \quad (\text{Ethyl acetate}) \] ### Conclusion - Therefore, the compounds 'A' and 'B' are: - A = Ethanol (C₂H₅OH) - B = Ethyl acetate (C₂H₅OCOCH₃) ### Final Answer - A = C₂H₅OH (Ethanol) - B = C₂H₅OCOCH₃ (Ethyl acetate)
