Question
On mixing ethyl acetate with aqueous sodium chloride, the composition of the resultant solution is
-
CH3COOC2H5 + NaCl
-
CH3Cl + C2H5COONa
-
CH3COCl + C2H5OH + NaOH
-
CH3COONa + C2H5OH
Solution
A.
CH3COOC2H5 + NaCl
Aqueous NaCl is neutral hence there is no reaction between ethyl acetate and aqueous NaCl
