The protons of methylene group between the two carbonyl groups in ethylacetoacetate are acidic in nature. When compounds containing such acidic protons are treated with bases the loose proton and form enolates.

In this particular example when ethylacetoacetate is reacted with methyl magnesium bromide, the methyl group abstracts the acidic proton and converts into methane gas. The enolate when hydrolyzed is again converted into ethylacetoacetate as shown below,

If you know the mass of an object you can calculate its weight with the formula
Vikki [24]
Answer: True

The formula of weight is w = mg, where m is the mass and g is the acceleration of gravity. If you want to calculate an object's weight, you need to know the two components: mass and gravity. 

You only need to know the mass of the object because the acceleration of gravity is ALWAYS (assuming the object is on Earth) 9.8 m/s^2.
