Vedclass · Answer

(B) Sodium $(Na)$ reacts with compounds containing acidic hydrogen atoms (like $-OH$ or $-COOH$ groups) to release hydrogen gas $(H_2)$.$C_2H_5OH$ (ethanol),$CH_3COOH$ (acetic acid),and $CH_3-CH(OH)-CH_3$ (propan$-2-$ol) all contain an acidic hydrogen atom attached to an oxygen atom.$CH_3-O-CH_3$ (dimethyl ether) is an ether and does not contain any replaceable hydrogen atom attached to an oxygen atom.Therefore,it does not react with sodium metal.
