The law of conservation of mass states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed, and it just transforms from one medium to another. Therefore, when a chemical reaction occurs, we need to balance the equation to ensure that the number of particles of the reactants are equal to the number of particles of the products.

Consider the following (unbalanced) equation:
H2 + O2 -> H2O
If this is what actually happens, then where is the second atom of Oxygen?

To ensure that stuff like this doesn't happen, we have to balance equations:
2H2 +O2 -> 2H2O

Now if you count the atoms, you have 4 Hydrogen atoms and 2 Oxygen atoms on both sides, and conservation of mass takes place.

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The acetoxy group in ortho position in phenyl acetate does interact with the phenyl moiety in the molecule via resonance.

This detailed interaction of the  acetoxy group in ortho position in phenyl acetate with the phenyl moiety in the molecule via resonance is shown in the image attached.

This interaction is made possible because the oxygen atom of the acetoxy group has lone pairs of electrons that are suitably positioned to interact with the ring via resonance.
