This is an esterification reaction that produces pentyl ethanoate as its product. If I remember correctly, pentyl ethanoate smells of pear drops. The general rule here is that any alc1ohol will react with any alk2anoic acid to produce the corresponding ester alk1yl alk2anoate. Oh, and it's pentan-1-ol btw, not 1-pentanol.

Condensed structural formula of benzyl acetate?

Acetic alcohol is a mixture, not a pure substance. You make it by mixing 3ml acetic acid with 100ml of "absolute alcohol," which is ethanol containing less than 1 percent water by weight. So...you could draw an acetic acid lewis diagram and an ethanol lewis diagram side by side.

What formaldehyde CH2O and acetic acid C2H4O2 have the same empirical formula but different?

While both formaldehyde (CH2O) and acetic acid (C2H4O2) share the same empirical formula (CH2O), they are different compounds with distinct chemical properties. The difference lies in their molecular structures - formaldehyde is a simple aldehyde whereas acetic acid is a carboxylic acid. This structural difference leads to variations in their physical and chemical properties.
