Solution: Option 3 is correct

Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) reacts with acetic acid (CH3COOH) to form sodium acetate (CH3​COONa) and water  (H2​O). The equation for this reaction can be written as :

NaOH + CH3COOH → CH3COONa + H2O

So, Y = CH3COONa (sodium acetate)

Now,

2CH3COOH + SOCl2 → 2CH3COCl + SO2 + H2O

So, Z = CH3COCl (acetyl chloride)

In the laboratory, acetic anhydride is made by distilling a combination of acetyl chloride and anhydrous sodium acetate.

 

 

So, Y = CH3COONa (sodium acetate) and Z = CH3COCl (acetyl chloride)
