Wat?
Methyl Acetate
C3H6O2 or CH3COOCH3
Formula: C6H5CH3
The equation for this reaction is: CH3COOH + CH3CH2OH ------> CH3COOCH3 + H2O
Hexane is the alkane with six carbon atoms and is a linear molecule. Ethyl acetate CH3COOCH3 is an ester.

Wat?
They react in presence of sulfuric acid and form methyl acetate and water.EQUATION:CH3COOH + CH3OH -----> CH3COOCH3 + H2Oacetic acid methanol methyl acetate water
well acetic acid has the formula CH3COOH to form an ester the acetic acid will need to react with an alcohol. So for example if you have methanol CH3OH you would form an ester (esterification) and the ester would be methyl acetate. CH3COOCH3
When a carboxylic acid is added to an alcohol, it forms an ester: Eg: CH3COOH + CH3OH -> CH3COOCH3 Sulphuric acid acts as a catalyst to this reaction Therefore if you add ethanoic acid and sulfuric acid to a unknown substance and it reacts the original substance was an alcohol.
This is a chemistry question not a math question. CH3I is methyl iodide, CH3COONa is sodium acetate, the chemical reaction produces the product CH3COOCH3 or methyl acetate. the other to chemicals are reactants. reactants react to produce products. Products are what you end up with. Reactants are what you start with.
There is a question alike to this on yahoo answers. The answer says to check out this website: http://www.chemguide.co.uk/organicprops/... (scroll down for the equation) * However this asks for the structural equation and you ask for the balanced equation. I do not know if they are the same thing or not, but this is the closest I could find.
