The chemical equation is:
H3BO3 + 3 C2H5OH = (C2H5O)3 + 3 H2O
Ethanol would react with citric acid, ethanol or ethyl alcohols are reactive when mixed with acids. Depending on the type of acid the reactions and products are different.
because it does not react in acetic acid
Acetic acid and ethanol alcohol will form ethyl acetate.
Ethyl Decanoate (ester product)
Ethanol and acetic acid.
The products from the reaction of n-amyl alcohol and acetic acid are ethyl pentanoate (an ester) and water. CH3COOH + CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2OH ==> CH3COOCH2CH2CH2CH2CH3 + H2O acetic acid + n-amyl alcohol ==> ethyl propanoate + water
Ethanol would react with citric acid, ethanol or ethyl alcohols are reactive when mixed with acids. Depending on the type of acid the reactions and products are different.
because it does not react in acetic acid
Acetic acid and ethanol alcohol will form ethyl acetate.
Ester will form having molecular formula CH3COOC2H5
