Question
The structural formula of an ester is:
$ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{H} \ \ \ \ \ \text{O} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{H} \ \ \ \ \text{H}\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|} \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{||} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|}\\\text{H}-\text{C}-\text{C}-\text{O}-\text{C}-\text{C}-\text{H}\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|}\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{H} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{H} \ \ \ \ \ \text{H}$
Write the formula of the acid and the alcohol from which it is formed.

Answer

Acid: Ethanol acid.
$ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{O}\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{||}\\ \text{CH}_3-\text{C}-\text{OH}\\\text{Alcohol:Ethanol}\\\text{CH}_3-\text{CH}_2-\text{OH}$
