Correct answer: A

  1. Identify the reaction type

    Ethyl acetate is an ester: CH3COOC2H5CH_3COOC_2H_5CH3​COOC2​H5​

    Aqueous sodium chloride is simply a neutral salt solution: NaCl(aq)NaCl(aq)NaCl(aq)

    Esters undergo hydrolysis only under suitable conditions such as:

    • acidic hydrolysis: dilute acid + water
    • basic hydrolysis: strong base like NaOHNaOHNaOH

    Here, only aqueous NaClNaClNaCl is present, which is neutral and does not hydrolyze ethyl acetate appreciably.

  2. Check each option

    Option A: CH3COOC2H5+NaClCH_3COOC_2H_5 + NaClCH3​COOC2​H5​+NaCl

    • This means no chemical reaction occurs on mixing.
    • This is correct.

    Option B: CH3Cl+C2H5COONaCH_3Cl + C_2H_5COONaCH3​Cl+C2​H5​COONa

    • This would require cleavage and rearrangement not caused by NaCl(aq)NaCl(aq)NaCl(aq).
    • Also, the carbon skeleton does not match ester hydrolysis chemistry.
    • Incorrect.

    Option C: CH3COCl+C2H5OH+NaOHCH_3COCl + C_2H_5OH + NaOHCH3​COCl+C2​H5​OH+NaOH

    • Formation of acid chloride CH3COClCH_3COClCH3​COCl from an ester does not occur with aqueous NaClNaClNaCl.
    • NaOHNaOHNaOH is not even a reactant here.
    • Incorrect.

    Option D: CH3COONa+C2H5OHCH_3COONa + C_2H_5OHCH3​COONa+C2​H5​OH

    • This is alkaline hydrolysis (saponification) of ethyl acetate: CH3COOC2H5+NaOH→CH3COONa+C2H5OHCH_3COOC_2H_5 + NaOH \rightarrow CH_3COONa + C_2H_5OHCH3​COOC2​H5​+NaOH→CH3​COONa+C2​H5​OH
    • But the reagent is NaClNaClNaCl, not NaOHNaOHNaOH.
    • Incorrect.
  3. Conclusion

    Since aqueous sodium chloride does not react with ethyl acetate under ordinary conditions, the resultant mixture contains the same substances.

    Therefore, the correct option is: A\boxed{A}A​
