Answer:
(B) Pentanol and butanoic acid
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, pentyl butanoate is an organic salt or ester coming from pentanol and butanoic acid based on the shown below reaction:
[tex]CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_2OH+CH_3CH_2CH_2COOH \rightleftharpoons \\CH_3CH_2CH_2COOCH_2CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_3+H_2O[/tex]
Whereas [tex]CH_3CH_2CH_2COOCH_2CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_3[/tex] is the pentyl butanoate, therefore the reactants are: (B) Pentanol and butanoic acid.
Best regards.
