Question

Complete the following equations : (a) CH3COOC2H5 ---> NaOH (b) CH3COOH + NaHCO3 (c) CH4 + Cl2 ---> Sunlight

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) CH₃COOC₂H₅+ NaOH → CH₃COONa + C₂H₅OH

(Ethyl Acetate when reacts with alkali NaOH, it forms Sodium Acetate and Ethanol)

(b) CH₃COOH + NaOH → CH₃COONa + H₂O

(Acetic acid reacts with Sodium Hydroxide to produce Sodium Acetate and Water)

(c) CH₄ + Cl₂ + Sunlight → CH₃Cl + HCl

(When Methane and Chlorine is exposed to ultraviolet light (sunlight) a substitution reaction occurs and the  product is Chloromethane, the process continues till all the Hydrogens are replaced by Chlorine)
