CH3COOH (ETHANOIC ACID)and C2H5OH(ETHANOL OR ETHYL ALCOHOL)ARE THE TWO COMPOUNDS FORMED WHEN ESTER UNDERGOES SAPONIFICATION.

Buddha818: The 2 compounds will be :-
Buddha818: 1. Sodium acetate ( CH3COONa)
Buddha818: 2. Ethanol (C2H5OH)

Names of the product  formed by saponification of CH_3COOC_2H_5.

  • When ester is treated with bases it leads to the formation of alcohol and sodium salt of carboxylic acid. This process is called as saponification.
  • When compound such as CH_3COOC_2H_5 is treated with NaOH which is a base, it yields ethanol and sodium ethanoate as product.
  • Among the product formed, ethanol is alcohol whereas sodium ethanoate is sodium salt of carboxylic acid.
  • The balanced chemical equation involved in saponification of CH_3COOC_2H_5 is as follows:

CH_3COOC_2H_5+NaOH\rightarrow C_2H_5OH+CH_3COONa
