10. A polymeric material, which is a polyester, is formed in this reaction. Polyesters are often made from dicarboxylic acids and diols. In this case, one molecule (salicylic acid) provides both the "alcohol" and the carboxylic acid. Write a structure for a) the ester formed from salicylic acid when catalyzed with sulfuric acid b) the ester formed from acetic acid and ethanol catalyzed with sulfuric acid
