Question

Write a balanced equation for the reaction of each of the following carboxylic acids with NaOH

A)3-chloropropanoic acid

B)benzoic acid

Answer 1

Generally Naot is used as aqueous solution of Naoh. @ The reaction between 3-chlolo Propanoic acid and Nach is shown below - d-CH₂-CHg & OH + NaOH al CH₂ CH ₂ CONa+ Hool) 09) ae) e 3-chloro Propanic aad Sodium buydioride Sodium Schlolo propionato 6 The reaction between benzoic Acid Propeonati. - and Naot is. shown below or Cogh + NaOH Coroana + Hool) GHS COOH (6) + Naot (ag) GHS CONa gat Holl) Benzoic acid - Sodium benzoati It care use sodium hydearide Pellets as then it solid phase reaction and equation shown below @ CH2 CH2 - COHS) + NaOHE) > Cechy-CH.
