I believe a chloride salt of the benzocaine is the product as the HCl acid attacks the amine functional group. however ethanol may also be formed from the hydrolysis of the ester and create a carboxyl group attached to the benzene ring. This will leave two products at the end of the reaction. I myself need some clarification on the resulting products whether it be a mixture of 2 products or one product.

Another name for a composition reaction is?
Formation reaction.
Why do you use NaHCO3 in the synthesis of benzocaine?
The synthesis occurs in acid conditions which protonate the amino group, the NaHCO3 lowers the pH so that the amino group is no longer protonated.
What kind of reaction is represented by 2K I2 -2KI?
The given reaction is an example of "synthesis" reaction, in particular one in which two elements react to form a chemical compound.
What is it when 2 simple substances combine to form a new more complex substance?
a synthesis reaction or a combination reaction
Ethers can be formed by what reaction?
Williamson synthesis reaction.
The reaction in which two or more substances react to form a single substance?
A synthesis reaction or dehydration synthesis, also called a condensation reaction.
Another name for a composition reaction is?
Formation reaction.
Why is ethanol used in excess in the preparation of benzocaine?
to shift the reaction toward the products (Benzocaine) to counteract the imposed change excess reactants so that will lead to a higher percentage of Benzocaine. according to Le Chatelier's principle

Is frying an egg a synthesis reaction?
Frying an egg is a synthesis reaction. The combination of heat which causes a reaction in the egg whites creates a chemical reaction. When you take these simple components and create a complex reaction this is a prime example of a synthesis reaction.

a synthesis reaction or a combination reaction
What is the reverse reaction type of synthesis?
Probable you think to a decompostion reaction.
