Acid anhydrides react with alcohols to give esters and carboxylic acids. Consider the formula of acetic anhydride. It is essentially a molecule formed from the combination of two acetic acid molecules, with a single small molecule eliminated. What is that small eliminated molecule? Enter the name of the molecule.
