Question
15 A compound C( molecular formula C2H4O2) reacts with Na metal to form a compound R and evolves a gas which burns with pop sound. Compound C in treatment with an alcohol A in presence of an acid forms a sweet smelling compound S( molecular formula C3H6O2) on addition of NaOH to C it also gives R and water. S on treatment with NaOH solution gives back R and A. A) identity C, R, A and S. B) write the reaction for compound S formed?
