RCOOH + NaOH → RCOONa + H₂O (salt and water)
RCOOH + OH⁻ → RCOO⁻ + H₂O
Answer:
Explanation:
A hydroxide of a metal is a base.
B is wrong. HCl is an acid.
C is wrong. NaCl is a salt.
D is wrong. Water is neutral.
A. a mutual attraction between the nuclei and electrons in two different atoms.
Explanation:
1. Only alcohols forms hydrogen bond between themselves and with other compounds containing an O-H, N-H, or F-H bond, such as water.
2. Alcohols up to 4 carbons are miscible in water because they have hydrogen bonded to oxygen and can form hydrogen bond with water. However, it is not possible for ethers.
3. When comparing ethers and alcohols of similar molecular weights, ethers have lower boiling point than alcohol. This is because of the presence of hydrogen bond in alcohols.
