MCQ
Pyrolysis of ethyl acetate gives:
  • A
    CH3​COCH3​
  • B
    CH= CH2
  • C
    CH2 ​= CO = O
  • D
    CH​− CHO

Answer

  1. CH= CH2

Explanation:

Pyrolysis of ethyl acetate gives ethylene (CH2​ = CH2​)

CH3​COOC2​H5 $\xrightarrow[\text{Pyrolysis}​]{\text{​Heat}}$ CH2​ = CH2​ + CH3​COOH

Ethyl acetate is heated in presence of liquid nitrogen and glass wool.
