When ethyl-2-methylpropanoate is treated with sodium ethoxide in ethanol, there is no observable reaction. explain this observation.

No net change in reaction occurs in this nucleophilic acyl subtitution reaction

Explanation:

Sodium ethoxide in ethanol gives nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction with ethyl-2-methylpropanoate.

Here ethoxide group replaces an ethoxide group from ester through addition-ellimination pathway.

So, ultimately, the product of this reaction is identical with reactant i.e. ethyl-2-methylpropanoate is reproduced.

Hence one might observe no change during reaction as product and reactant of this reaction are same.

Mechanistic pathway has been shown below.

the only liquid elements at standard temperature and pressure are bromine (br) and mercury (hg). although, elements caesium (cs), rubidium (rb), francium (fr) and gallium (ga) become liquid at or just above room temperature.

explanation:

practical process described pest part of scientific investigation.

because practical knowledge is powerful then therotical knowledge.
