(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The expected products obtained from the given reaction have to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Esterification reaction and intermolecular esterification reactions:

Carboxylic acid and alcohol reacts to form an ester when the reaction proceeds under acidic condition. This type of reaction is known as esterification reaction.

General scheme for esterification reaction:

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The expected products obtained from the given reaction have to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Transesterification and intermolecular transesterification reactions:

In the presence of an acid, ester and alcohol forms another new ester which is known as transester and a new alcohol will also be formed. This type of reaction is called transesterification reaction.

General scheme for transesterification reaction:
