Which of the following represents a saponification reaction? (a) \(C

1.	Which of the following represents a saponification reaction? (a) \(CH_3OONa+NaOH\overset{CaO}\rightarrow CH_4+Na_2CO_3\)(b) \(CH_3COOH+C_2H_5OH\overset{H_2SO_4}\rightarrow 2CH_3COONa + H_2\)(c) 2CH3COOH + 2Na → 2CH3COONa + H2 (d) CH3COOC2H5 + NaOH → CH3COONa + C2H5OH
Answer» The answer is (d) CH₃COOC₂H₅+ NaOH → CH₃COONa + C₂H₅OH Saponification is a reaction in which ethanol and sodium ethanoate are produced upon treatment of ester with an alkali.
