The correct Answer is:
To solve the given reaction sequence, we will analyze each step carefully. ### Step 1: Identify the Reactants The first reactant is acetic acid (CH₃COOH) and it reacts with lithium aluminium hydride (LiAlH₄). ### Step 2: Reduction of Acetic Acid Lithium aluminium hydride (LiAlH₄) is a strong reducing agent. When acetic acid is treated with LiAlH₄, it undergoes reduction to form ethanol (C₂H₅OH or CH₃CH₂OH). **Reaction:** \[ \text{CH}_3\text{COOH} + \text{LiAlH}_4 \rightarrow \text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{OH} \] Thus, we identify: - A = C₂H₅OH (Ethanol) ### Step 3: Reaction of Ethanol with Acetic Acid Next, the product A (ethanol) reacts with acetic acid (CH₃COOH) in the presence of hydronium ion (H₃O⁺). This reaction is an esterification reaction. **Reaction:** \[ \text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{OH} + \text{CH}_3\text{COOH} \overset{\text{H}_3\text{O}^+}{\rightarrow} \text{CH}_3\text{COOC}_2\text{H}_5 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \] Thus, we identify: - B = CH₃COOC₂H₅ (Ethyl acetate) ### Final Answer: - A = Ethanol (C₂H₅OH) - B = Ethyl acetate (CH₃COOC₂H₅)
