Identify the missing reagent in the reaction given below \[\xrightarrow[\left( \text{ii} \right)\,{{H}_{3}}{{O}^{+}}]{\left( \text{i} \right)\,EtONa}\]
A
Diethyl carbonate \[{{\left( EtO \right)}_{2}}C=O\]
B
Ethyl acetate \[C{{H}_{3}}COOEt\]
C
Ethyl formate $$HCOOEt$$
D
Diethyl oxalate \[Et.\,OOC.\,COOEt\]
Answer :
Diethyl carbonate \[{{\left( EtO \right)}_{2}}C=O\]
The correct order of increasing acid strength
$$C{F_3}.COOH > MeOC{H_2}COOH > C{H_3}COOH > {\left( {Me} \right)_2}CH.COOH$$
[ NOTE : Electron withdrawing groups increase the acid strength and electron donating groups decrease the acid strength. ]

A colourless liquid, at room temperature, reacts with soda-lime to form sodium salt of a carboxylic acid and ammonia gas. The liquid is
Only amides ( but not acids and esters ) undergo hydrolysis in presence of soda-lime to form sodium salt of a carboxylic acid and ammonia gas. Further, since the given compound is a liquid, it must be formamide, because propanamide is a solid.
