AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to identify the compounds involved in the reaction described. Let's break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Identify Compound X The question states that compound X has a vinegar-like smell. Vinegar is commonly known to be a dilute solution of acetic acid (CH₃COOH). Therefore, we can conclude that: - **X = Acetic Acid (CH₃COOH)** ### Step 2: Identify the Acid Z The reaction involves ethanol (C₂H₅OH) reacting with acetic acid in the presence of an acid catalyst. A common acid catalyst used in esterification reactions is sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄). Thus, we can identify: ...
