Solution: Option 3 is correct
Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) reacts with acetic acid (CH3COOH) to form sodium acetate (CH3COONa) and water (H2O). 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)
