A) Ethyl acetate
B) Acetone
C) Methyl propionate
D) Lactic acid
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
Esters upon acid hydrolysis give acid and alcohol \[\underset{ethyl\,\,acetate}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}COO{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}O}}\,+{{H}_{2}}\xrightarrow[({{H}_{3}}{{O}^{+}})]{{{H}^{+}}}\] \[\underset{acetic\,acid}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}COOH}}\,+\underset{ethyl\,alcohol}{\mathop{{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH}}\,\] \[\underset{methylpropionate}{\mathop{{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}COOC{{H}_{3}}}}\,+{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow[({{H}_{3}}{{O}^{+}})]{{{H}^{+}}}\] \[\underset{propionic\,acid}{\mathop{{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}COOH}}\,+\underset{methanol}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}OH}}\,\]
