Answer 1

Condensation reaction

Explanation:

Condensation reaction: a reaction in which two molecules combine to form a larger molecule, producing a small molecule such as `"H"_2"O"` as a by-product.

Here butanoic acid and ethanol combined to form ethyl butanoate releasing a water molecule. Therefore, it’s a condensation reaction.
