Answer #1

Propyl propionate is an ester not alcohol.

To prepare Propyl propionate, alcohol (propan-1-ol) and acid (propanoic acid) reacts in presence of acid.

But in your question acetic acid is given.

So i am sharing the mechanism reaction of propan-1-ol and acetic acid in presence of acid. Make changes in the structure of the reactants according to your correct question.
