What products will the following reactions yield? Assume these 2 reactions. I must write the Lewis structures of the products.


$$\ce{C6H5COOH + CH3CH2OH -&gt;[\ce{H+}] ?}$$
(comment: A benzene ring + $\ce{CO_2H}$ on one end, I don't know its name)
$$\ce{CH3CH2OH + (CH3CO)2O -&gt;[\ce{H+}]?}$$ (comment: acetic anhydride)


My approach:

For the first reaction I will get acetic anhydride (source)



For the second reaction I will get aspirin and acetic acid.

Questions:


Is the above correct?
Is there a connection between the two reactions? Is it an intermediate step of some sort? What is the importance between the two reactions?
Why is $\ce{H+}$ added?
What is the benzene ring and the $\ce{CO2H}$ called?
No, I hesitate to give the correct products since this is homework, but maybe some of what's below will help
Yes, the two reactions are both esterifications; converting an acid, an acid anhydride, an acid chloride, etc., to the corresponding ester
The proton is a catalyst, it is not consumed in the reaction.  It protonates the carbonyl oxygen, making the carbonyl carbon more susceptible to nucleophilic attack
benzoic acid
