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

CH3COOC2H5 + NaCl

Aqueous NaCl is neutral hence there is no reaction between ethyl acetate and aqueous NaCl
