Q. On mixing ethyl acetate with aqueous sodium chloride, the composition of the resultant solution is
A) $CH_{3}COOC_{2}H_{5} + NaCl$
B) $C_{3}COONa + C_{2}H_{5}OH$
C) $CH_{3}COCl + C_{2}H_{5}OH + NaOH$
D) $CH_{3}Cl + C_{2}H_{5}COONa$
Explanation
(a)
Aqueous $NaCl$ is neutral hence, there is no reaction between ethyl acetate and aqueous $NaCl$
$CH_{3}COOC_{2}H_{5} + NaCl\ (aq) \rightarrow$ No reaction
