On mixing ethyl acetate with aqueous sodium chloride, the composition of the resultant solution is:

A $CH_{3} COOC_{2} H_{5} + NaCl$
B $CH_{3} Cl + C_{2} H_{5} COONa$
C $CH_{3} COCl + C_{2} H_{5} OH + NaOH$
D $CH_{3} COONa + C_{2} H_{5} OH$

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Mixing an ester like ethyl acetate with an aqueous solution of a neutral salt like NaCl does not result in any chemical reaction. Therefore, the components remain as ethyl acetate and sodium chloride.
