Ok so in we've reacted propanol with methanoic acid in the presence of H2SO4 and hopefully have some propyl methanoate somewhere there.
We've taken away the sulfuric acid by neutralising with sodium carbonate, and taken away water by reacting it with calcium chloride. When water is reacted with calcium chloride, CaCl<sub>2</sub>·2H<sub>2</sub>O is produced.
How can this CaCl<sub>2</sub>·2H<sub>2</sub>O be removed?
edit: what would be the subscript of the ester? (aq) ?
