NaOH is a strong base so it abstracts the proton from p-nitrophenol resulting in the formation of p-nitrophenoxide ion and water, but HCl is a strong acid so its conjugate base (Chloride ion) if in-case abstracts the proton from p-nitrophenol the resulting p-nitrophenoxide will accept the proton released from acid and again changes into p-nitrophenol, so there will not be any effect. Simply p-nitrophenol is also a weak acid & there will not be any reaction of it with strong hydrochloric acid.

p-nitrophenol does not reac with HCl but with NaOH it forms salt,

O2N-C6H4-OH + NaOH = O2N-C6H4-O-Na+ + H2O

What happened with Hexane and hexene when it is combined with HCL and also NaOH?

There will be no reaction of Hexane as it does'nt have any reactive sites. Hexene will react only with Hcl as the double bond is nucleophilic to give poly chlorinated hexane. Hexene will not react with NaOH


What is the stoichiometric relationship between NaOH and HCl?

These chemicals react in a direct proportion of one to one, measured in moles of course, not by weight. A mole of NaOH weighs more than a mole of HCl.

Do sodium salicylate react with HCl and NaOH and NaHCO3?

Sodium hydroxide in a pure form is a solid, so you cannot dissolve anything in it. Normally, NaOH is used as an aqueous solution. But salicylic acid dissolves in water, so the presence of NaOH in the water is irrelevant to the solubility of salicylic acid. It is the water, not the NaOH, that dissolves the salicylic acid.
