Question

A compound A(C2H4O2)reacts with Na metal to form a compound B and evolved a gas which burns with POP sound. compound A on treatment with alchohol C in the presence of an acid forms a sweet smelling substance D(C4H5O2).On adddition ofNaOH to D gives back B and C. Identify A,BCand D qnd writw the reaction involved​

Answer 1

Answer:

B is C2H4ONa

C is C2H5OH

D is C4H5O2

Answer 2

Answer:

2 CH₃COOH + 2 Na ⇒  2 CH₃COONa + H₂O

      ( A )                                   ( B )

CH₃COOH + C₂H₅OH ⇒  CH₃COOC₂H₅ + H₂O

                        ( C )                 ( D )

CH₃COOC₂H₅ + NaOH  ⇒ C₂H₅OH + CH₃COONa

Therefore we identified

A - CH₃COOH

B - CH₃COONa

C - C₂H₅OH

D - CH₃COOC₂H₅
