What are possible errors (other than human error) in the experiment of synthesis of ester and how they can affect the experiment?

Draw a product separation scheme to summarize how your pure product can be isolated in the esterification reaction. Being by listing all the compounds that could be mixed in with your product (reactants, solvents, and other products) and in each separation step include the solvent(s)/reagent and separation technique, phases/states of matter.

List of products, reactants, and other compounds involved

Reactants: isopropanol, acetic acid

Product that needs to be isolated: isopropyl acetate

other compounds: sulfuric acid, water, diethyl ether, 5% aqueous sodium bicarbonate, drying agent anhydrous sodium sulfate

How do I explain the separation scheme of acetic acid + isopropanol that yield isopropyl acetate
