A compound ‘C’ (molecular formula, C2H4O2) reacts with Na-metal to form a compound ‘R’ and evolves a gas which burns with a pop sound. Compound ‘C’ on treatment with an alcohol ‘A’ in presence of an acid forms a sweet smelling compound ‘S’ (molecular formula C3H6O2). On addition of NaOH to ‘C’, it also gives ‘R’ and water. ‘S’ on treatment with NaOH solution gives back ‘R’ and ‘A’. Identify ‘C’, ‘R’, ‘A’, ‘S’ and write down the reactions involved.

'C' is ethanoic acid, 'R' is sodium ethanoate, 'A' is methanol, 'S' is methyl ethanoate.
