Answer: Structural formulas for these esters  HCOOCH2CH3  and CH3COOCH3.  

Explanation:

An ester is to react an acid with an alcohol. For ethyl formate, you would need to react formic acid with ethanol.  

HCOOH + CH3CH2OH -> HCOOCH2CH3  

Methyl ethanoate, you would react ethanoic acid (acetic acid) with methanol  

CH3COOH + CH3OH -> CH3COOCH3
