Solution

  1. When sodium ethanoate (C6H5ONa) reacts with ethyl chloride (C2H5Cl), it leads to the formation of ethyl ethanoate along with sodium chloride.
  2. In the reaction, sodium is a strong electrophile which attacks the chlorine atom and forms sodium chloride (NaCl).
  3. Oxygen being negatively charged gets attached to the ethyl group and forms an ether ethyl ethanoate.
  4. The reaction between sodium ethanoate (C6H5ONa) and ethyl chloride (C2H5Cl) follows as

C6H5ONa(aq)+C2H5Cl(aq)C6H5-O-C6H5(aq)+NaCl(aq)SodiumEthylEthoxyethaneSodiumethanotechloridechloride

Hence, C6H5ONa(aq)+C2H5Cl(aq) C6H5-O-C6H5(aq)+NaCl(aq).
