The solvent (if it is entirely a solvent, as it is in this case) makes no difference. In theory, you would get sodium benzoate, but getting sodium hydroxide to react in a system including an organic solvent will not be easy as it is barely soluble. Vigorous agitation would be required.

The structure of the product when benzoic acid react with sodium hyroxide?

When benzoic acid reacts with sodium hydroxide, the carboxylic acid group (-COOH) on benzoic acid will undergo a neutralization reaction with the sodium hydroxide to form sodium benzoate salt and water. Sodium benzoate is a white, crystalline solid that is water-soluble. The reaction is a typical acid-base neutralization reaction, producing a salt and water as the products.


Why wash dichloromethane solution with a strong base?

Dichloromethane is commonly washed with a strong base, such as sodium hydroxide, to remove acidic impurities like carboxylic acids or phenols that may be present in the organic solution. The strong base reacts with these acidic impurities to form water-soluble salts that can be separated from the organic layer, resulting in a cleaner product.

Why was it possible to separate product from sodium hydroxide using acetone?

The acetone is added to our product found in a solid form with NaOH. It dissolves some of the solid, which contains our product and the rest remains solid. The NaOH is the solid and we centrifuge the mixture to produce two layers. The NaOH on bottom and the product + acetone on top.


Is it possible to get benzoic acid as a product from the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of acetophenone?

No, benzoic acid is not a possible product of the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of acetophenone. The Baeyer-Villiger oxidation typically yields carboxylic acid esters or lactones, not carboxylic acids like benzoic acid.


What is the Product of potassium sulphate potassium hydroxide water and Potassium manganese?

The product of potassium sulfate and potassium hydroxide will be potassium sulfate and potassium hydroxide since they are already compounds. When water is added to the mixture, it will dissolve the compounds and create a solution. Adding potassium manganese to the solution would result in a mixture of all the substances present.


What is the product formed when benzoic acid reacts with ethanol?

The product formed when benzoic acid reacts with ethanol is ethyl benzoate, along with water. This reaction is an esterification process, where the -OH group of the benzoic acid reacts with the -OH group of ethanol to form the ester and water as a byproduct.


Is sodium hydroxide man made?

Sodium hydroxide is a manmade product.

How do you make Ammonium ferric citrate?

Ammonium ferric citrate can be made by reacting ferric citrate with ammonium hydroxide. First, dissolve ferric citrate in water and then add a solution of ammonia until the desired pH is reached, followed by evaporation to get the final product.


What product forms when ethyl benzoate is treated with water and hydrocholride and heat?

The product formed would be benzoic acid. Ethyl benzoate reacts with water in the presence of hydrochloric acid and heat to undergo hydrolysis, breaking the ester bond. This results in the formation of benzoic acid and ethanol.
