What is the reaction of benzoic acid with sodium hydroxide?

Answer 1

benzoic acid + hydroxide ion --> benzoate + water

benzoate is a benzene ring with a carbon branch double bonded to O and single bonded to O with a negative charge

I wish i could draw a picture... benzene ring ---C=O

O-

Answer 2

The reaction between ethanoic acid and sodium hydroxide forms Sodium acetate and Water.

CH3COOH + NaOH -----> CH3COONa + H2O

(Ethanoic acid) (Sodium hydroxide) (Sodium Acetate) (Water)

The chemical reaction between ethanoic acid plus sodium hydroxide is CH3COOH + NaOH -----> CH3COONa + H2O.

Answer 3

someone ans it plz plz plz smarty one not lala one

hai i just had this exact question and found it in my text book.

what you get is the Na bit goes onto the benzene bit so you get the benzene ring with COONa on it and the ethyl bit forms C2H5OH

:)

Answer 4

First: NaCO3 doesn't exist, it should be with sodium hydrogencarbonate or sodium carbonate

• NaHCO3 giving: C6H5COOH + NaHCO3 ---> H2O + CO2 + C6H5COONa

or

• Na2CO3 giving: 2 C6H5COOH + Na2CO3 ---> H2O + CO2 + 2 C6H5COONa

Answer 5

sodium hydroxide + propyl ethanoate --> propanoate ion + ethanoate.

This is a process called saponification, which is when an ester is catalyzed by a strong acid or alkali to produce a carboxylic acid and an alcohol and when in the presence of an alkali (sodium hydroxide in this case) the acid reacts with the alkali to form a carboxylate salt.

Saponification

Ester + hydroxide --> carboxylate ion + alcohol

Answer 6

benzoic acid + NaOH ---> water + sodium benzoate

HC7H5O2(aq) + NaOH(aq) ---> H2O(l) + NaC7H5O2

Answer 7

benzene-COOH + NaOH -> benzene-COO-Na + H2O

Answer 8

sodium ethoxide(NaOEt) and water are formed

Answer 9

C6H5COOH + NaOH ---> H2O + C6H5COO-Na+

Answer 10

No
