When CH3COOCH3+HCl\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COOCH}_3+\mathrm{HCl} is titrated with NaOH\mathrm{NaOH} then at neutral point the colour of phenolphthalein becomes colourless from pink due to

Options

  1. Aformation of CH3OH\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{OH}
  2. Bformation of CH3COOH\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COOH} which acts as a weak acid
  3. Cphenolphthalein vaporizes
  4. Dpresence of HCl\mathrm{HCl}.

Correct answer

B. formation of CH3COOH\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COOH} which acts as a weak acid

Step-by-step solution

NaOH\mathrm{NaOH} solution is taken in a conical flask with phenolphthalein indicator (pink colour)andCH3COOCH3+HCland \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COOCH}_3+\mathrm{HCl} solution is added from burette slowly. First, HCl\mathrm{HCl} left after hydrolysis of ester (being a strong acid) gets consumed then CH3COOH\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COOH} being a weak acid will bring the titration to the neutralisation point. CH3COOCH3H2OH+→CH3COOH+CH3OHHCl+NaOH⟶NaCl+H2OCH3COOH+NaOH⟶CH3COONa\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COOCH}_3 \frac{\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}}{\mathrm{H}^{+}} \rightarrow \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COOH}+\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{OH} \\ & \mathrm{HCl}+\mathrm{NaOH} \longrightarrow \mathrm{NaCl}+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \\ & \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COOH}+\mathrm{NaOH} \longrightarrow \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COONa}\end{aligned}
