Answer:

$CH_3COOH+CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2OH\rightarrow CH_3COOCH_2CH_2CH_2CH_3+H_2O$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible for us to realize this is a question about esterification, process whereby a carboxylic acid and an alcohol react to produce water an an ester, we can set it up as shown below:

CH_3COOH+CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2OH

For the reaction between ethanoic acid and butanol; and therefore, the products side is:

CH_3COOCH_2CH_2CH_2CH_3+H_2O

It means that the overall equation is:

$CH_3COOH+CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2OH\rightarrow CH_3COOCH_2CH_2CH_2CH_3+H_2O$

And the ester product is butyl ethanoate.

Regards!
