An organic liquid of the composition C4 ...

An organic liquid of the composition `C_4 H_8 O_2` yields a sodium salt of an acid `C_3 H_6 O_2` and methanol on boiling with `NaOH` solution. The gives liquid is :

A

`CH_3 CH_2 COOCH_3`

B

`CH_3 COOC_2 H_5`

C

`HCOOC_3 H_7`

D

`CH_3 CH_2 CH_2 COOH`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`1 D.U` with `2 O` atoms, and on hydrolysis gives salt of an acid and `CH_3 OH`. So, compound is methyl ester, i.e., `(CH_3CH_2COOMe)`.
