    Aqueous 10% \[\text{NaC}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}\] solution is used as a reagent for identifying X. Which of the following compounds yield X on hydroysis?

    A)  \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{O}_{2}}{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}\]

    B)  \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{2}}-{{O}_{2}}-{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}\]

    C)  \[C{{H}_{3}}CHO\]

    D)  \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}OH\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     \[\text{NaHC}{{\text{O}}_{3}}\]is basic in nature so, it is used in the identification of acid only. In the given compound only ester \[(C{{H}_{3}}COO{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}})\] on hydrolysis gives acid as : \[C{{H}_{3}}CO\,OH\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{\text{Acetic}\,\text{acid}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}COOH}}\,\] \[\underset{\text{Ethyl}\,\text{alcohol}}{\mathop{+\,{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH}}\,\] So, the correct answer is ethyl acetate.
