A compounds X is fromed by the reaction of a carboxylic acid `C_(2)H_(4)O_(2)` and an alcohol in the presence of a few drops of `H_(2)SO_(4)`. The alcohol on oxidation with alkalne `KMnO_(4)` followed by acidification gives the same carboxylic as used in this reaction. Give the names and structures of (a) carboxylic acid, (b) alcohol and (c ) the compound X. Also write the reaction.
