In nucleophilic substitution reaction the leaving group is replaced by the electron rich species (nucleophile)  to form the product. Due to the more electronegativity of the chlorine atom the carbon atom attached to the chlorine is deficient atom. So the the anion i.e. acetate ion ( has electron density) attach at that carbon atom and the reaction take place is the nucleophilic substitution reaction.
