**Name the ester CH₃CH₂COOCH₃** 

______________________________

**Draw a general mechanism for the acid-catalyzed esterification of ROH + R'COOH.**

---

**Description and Explanation:**

1. **Chemical Naming**: The given ester compound, CH₃CH₂COOCH₃, needs to be named according to IUPAC naming conventions.

2. **Mechanism Drawing**: In the section below, students are asked to illustrate the general mechanism for acid-catalyzed esterification. This involves a reaction between an alcohol (ROH) and a carboxylic acid (R'COOH) in the presence of an acid catalyst to form an ester.

**Note**: A red cross mark is drawn on the top right corner, which may indicate an error or a point of focus for correction.
