1.	14. A and B react with Na gives H2 gas and by reaction of both A and B ethyl acetate is formed then A and B are; A) CH3COOH, C2H5OH B) C3H7COOH, C3H7OH C) CH3COOH, CH3OH D) HCOOH, CH3COOH
Answer» option AExplanation:Ethyl ACETATE is an ester, so A any B must be alcohol and carboxylic acid. For the FORMATION of ethyl acetate, we need alcohol with 2 carbons and carboxylic acid with 2 carbons.Both have acidic HYDROGENS so they reacts with Na to FORM hydrogen gas.
