A carboxylic acid C(2)H(4)O(2) reacts wi...

A carboxylic acid `C_(2)H_(4)O_(2)` reacts with an alcohol in the presence of `H_(2)SO_(4)` to form a compound 'X'. The alcohol on oxidation with alkaline `KMnO_(4)` gives the same carboxylic acid, `C_(2)H_(4)O_(2)`. Write the name and structure of (i) Carboxylic acid, (ii) alcohol and (iii) the compound 'X'.
