Question

Please help me with both of these problems, they are  the same question its just a two-part, I really want to study so please help 

In the Fischer esterification reaction, a carboxylic acid reacts with an excess of alcohol in acidic conditions to form an ester. During the reaction the sp² hybridized carbonyl carbon of the acid forms an sp hybridized intermediate before returning to sp? hybridization in the product. Draw the structure of the neutral sp³ hybridized intermediate and the ester product in the reaction between pentanoic acid and n-propanol. H* neutral sp3 ester pentanoic acid + n-propanol intermediate product propanol Draw the neutral sp³ intermediate. Draw the ester product. Select Draw Rings Select Draw Rings More Erase More Erase H H
