Question

Identify the product ‘B’ in the following sequence of reactions.

\[\ce{\underset{}{Methylpropanoate} ->[Δ][dil. NaOH] \underset{\underset{}{}}{A}->[H+][Conc. HCl] \underset{\underset{}{}}{B}}\]

पर्याय

• sodium propanoate

• propanone

• propanal

• propanoic acid

Answer 1

propanoic acid

Explanation:

\[\ce{\underset{Methyl propanoate}{C2H5-COOCH3} ->[Δ][dil{.} NaOH]\underset{Sodium propanoate}{C2H5-COONa} ->[H+][conc{.} HCl]\underset{Propanoic acid}{C2H5-COOH} + NaCl}\]
