1.	An organic liquid of the composition C_(4)H_(8)O_(2) yields a sodium salt of an acid C_(3)H_(6)O_(2) and methanol on boiling with NaOH solution. The given liqud is
Answer» `CH_(3)CH_(2)COOCH_(3)` `CH_(3)COOC_(2)H_(5)` `HCOOC_(3)H_(7)` `CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)COOH` Solution :`H_(3)C-CH_(2)-OVERSET(O)overset("\|\|")(C)-O-CH_(3) overset(NaOH)(rarr) H_(3)C-CH_(2)-overset(O)overset("\|\|")(C)-ONa+CH_(3)OH`.
