Write the equations of chemical reactions that can be used to obtain ethyl acetate from starch.

Let’s write the equations:
n (C6H10O5) + nH2O = nC6H12O6 – starch hydrolysis occurs in an acidic environment, glucose is formed;
C6H12O6 = 2C2H5 – OH + 2CO2 – fermentation of glucose occurs with the participation of yeast, ethanol is released;
C2H5OH + CH3COOH = CH3COO – C2H5 + H2O – the esterification reaction occurs when heated in the presence of sulfuric acid, which acts as a dehydrating agent; ethyl acetate is obtained.
Ethyl acetate refers to esters, this is ethyl acetate, used as a solvent. These reactions show the connection between carbohydrates, alcohols and ethers.
