143. Look at the figure and answer the following 146. A compound C (molecular formula, C2H4O2) reacts
questions. with Na metal to form a compound R and evolves a gas
which burns with a pop sound. Compound C on
treatment with an alcohol A in the presence of an acid
forms a sweet smelling compound S (molecular formula
= C3H6O2).
On addition of NaOH to C, it also gives R and water. S
on treatment with NaOH solution gives back R and A.
Identify C, R, A, S and write down the reactions
involved.
