Vinay was trying to create sodium acetate, he added ethanoic acid and ‘A’ in an open vessel. He also added few drops of concentrated H2SO4 to this and was surprised when the solution gave a sweet effervescence. So he repeated this experiment in a closed vessel and obtained ethyl acetate. Then he added ‘B’ and created sodium acetate. Find A and B.

Expert Answer:
Compound 'A; is ethyl alcohol C2H5OH
When ethanoic acid is added to ethyl alcohol (C2H5OH) in the presence of concentrated H2SO4 gives ethyl acetate (CH3COOC2H5)
Compound B is sodium hydroxide (NaOH).
When ethyl acetate (CH3COOC2H5) is treated with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) it gives sodium acetate (CH3COONa) as a product.

- A compound 'C' with molecular formula C2H4O2 reacts with Na metal to form compound 'R' and evolve a gas which burns with pop sound. 'C' reacts with an alcohol 'A' in presence of an acid to form a compound C2H4O2. On addition of NaOH to 'C' it gives 'R' and water. 'S' on treatment with NaOH gives back 'R' and 'A'. Identify C,R,A,S and write down the reactions involved.
