Write balanced equations for the reaction of each of the following carboxylic acids with NaOH: 3-chloropropanoic acid and benzoic acid
Added by Nicholas L.
Step 1
3-chloropropanoic acid + NaOH The chemical formula for 3-chloropropanoic acid is ClCH2CH2COOH. When it reacts with sodium hydroxide (NaOH), it forms a salt (sodium 3-chloropropanoate) and water. The balanced equation is: ClCH2CH2COOH + NaOH → ClCH2CH2COONa + H2O Show more…
