Answer:

B

Explanation:

The general equation for the reaction of a carboxylic acid with an alkanol to form an ester is shown below;

RCOOH + ROH ------> RCOOR + H2O

Hence; the reactant carboxylic acid can only be the compound (CH3)2-CH-CH2-COOH in accordance with the general reaction equation shown above.

Hence the reaction is;

(CH3)2-CH-CH2-COOH + CH3-CH2OH -------> CH3CH2 OCO-CH2-CH-(CH3)2

The study of chemicals is called chemistry.

The correct answer is B.

The formation of ether is formed by the joining of carboxylic acid and removing of water. The general reaction is as follows:-

[tex]RCOOH + ROH ------> RCOOR + H_2O[/tex]

Hence, the reactant carboxylic acid can only be the compound (CH3)2-CH-CH2-COOH in accordance with the general reaction equation shown above. In this reaction, the position of the carbon is secondary and helps in the formation of the product.

Hence, the correct answer is B that is:-

[tex](CH_3)_2-CH-CH_2-COOH + CH_3-CH_2OH -------> CH_3CH_2 OCO-CH_2-CH-(CH_3)_2[/tex]
