Write the balanced chemical equations for the following reactions and identify the type of reaction in each case.
$(a)$ Ethanol is warmed with ethanoic acid to form ethyl acetate in the presence of concentrated $H_2SO_4$.
$(b)$ Ethene is burnt in the presence of oxygen to form carbon dioxide, water and releases heat and light.

(N/A) $C_2H_5OH(l) + CH_3COOH(l) \xrightarrow{conc. H_2SO_4} CH_3COOC_2H_5(l) + H_2O(l)$
This is an esterification reaction (a type of condensation reaction).
$(b)$ $C_2H_4(g) + 3O_2(g) \longrightarrow 2CO_2(g) + 2H_2O(g) + \text{Heat} + \text{Light}$
This is a combustion reaction (a type of redox reaction).
