3Solve this:

A compound C (molecular formula, C2H4O2) reacts with the non metal
compound R and evolves a gas which burn with a pop sound, compound
treatment with an alcohol A in the presence of an acid form a sweet
compound S(molecular formula, C3H6O2 On addition Of NaOH to C. it also
and water S on treatment with NaOH solution gives back Rand A, Identified
and write down the reactions involved.​

Solution

Compound C is CH3COOH.
Compound R is CH3COONa
Compound A is CH3OH
Compound S is CH3COOCH3
Chemical reaction in sequence are as follows:
CH3COOH + Na →CH3COONa + H2
CH3OH + CH3COOH+ acid ⇒ CH3COOCH3 + H2O
CH3COOH + NaOH → CH3COONa + H2O
CH3COOCH3 + NaOH → CH3COONa + CH3OH
