An organic compound A is an essential constituent of wine and beer Oxi

1.	An organic compound A is an essential constituent of wine and beer Oxidation of A yields an organic acid B which is present in vinegar Name the compoundsA and B react in the presence of acid catalys. Write chemical equation
Answer» anic compound A is ethanol with chemical formula CH3CH2-OH, which is an important constituent of wine and beer. On oxidation, it yields ethanoic acid (acetic acid) i.e. CH3COOH, which is PRESENT in vinegar. Ester is formed when an ALCOHOL and an acid reacts with each in PRESENCE of acid. Here, in this case, ethyl ethanoate will form. C2H5OH + CH3COOH -----> CH3COOC2H5+ H2Ohope it help youMark me brainliest
