Why is it necessary to extract ether layer with sodium hydroxide when reacting benzoic acid with hydroxide ion?

It depends on the overall reaction. If the carboxylic acid is an impurity in the reaction (undesired), then washing with sodium hydroxide will extract the carboxylic into the aqueous layer, and it can then be disposed. The reaction for this looks as follows: (ring)-COOH + NaOH -> (ring)-COO-Na+ + H20 Where the ring loses a proton to the hydroxide ion and becomes water soluble.


What 2 substances will be formed when hydrochloric acid reacts with sodium hydroxide?

HCl + NaOH = H2O + NaCl Or, water and table salt--which will dissolve in water. Benzoic acid, C6H5COOH, will not be formed; neither of the two starting chemicals contains carbon, and benzoic acid contains a lot of it. - - - - - Benzoic acid and sodium chloride
