Which pair of reactants forms ethyl butanoate during an esterification reaction? Group of answer choices butanoic acid and ethanol ethanoic acid and 2-butanol formic acid and 1-butanol acetic acid and methanol

The process in which an organic acid and an alcohol react to form an ester and water is known as esterification. Ethyl butanoate (C3H7COOC2H5) is an ester formed when the alcohol ethanol (C2H5OH) and butanoic acid (C3H7COOH) are heated in the presence of sulfuric acid. C2H5OH(l) + C3H7COOH(l) → C3H7COOC2H5(l) + H2O(l) Determine the mass of ethyl butanoate produced if 3.30 mol of ethanol is used. g

Esterification The process in which an organic acid and an alcohol react to form an ester and water is known as esterification. Ethyl butanoate $\left(\mathrm{C}_{3} \mathrm{H}_{7} \mathrm{COOC}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5}\right)$ an ester, is formed when the alcohol ethanol $\left(\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{OH}\right)$ and are heated in the presence of sulfuric acid. $$\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{OH}(1)+\mathrm{C}_{3} \mathrm{H}_{7} \mathrm{COOH}(1) \rightarrow$$ $$\mathrm{C}_{3} \mathrm{H}_{7} \mathrm{COOC}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5}(1)+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{l})$$ Determine the mass of ethyl butanoate produced if 4.50 mol of ethanol is used.
