Answer:
a. Sodium cyclopentanecarboxylate
b. No reaction
Explanation:
In this case, in the cyclopentanecarboxylic acid we have a <u>carboxylic acid</u> functional group. Therefore we have an "acid". The acids by definition have the ability to produce hydronium ions (
).
With this in mind, for molecule a. we will have an <u>acid-base reaction</u>, because NaOH is a base. When we put together an acid and a base we will have as products a <u>salt and water</u>. In this case, the products are Sodium cyclopentanecarboxylate (the salt) and water.
For the second molecule, we have the hydronium ion (
). This ion can not react with an acid. Because, the acid will produce the hydronium ion also, so <u>a reaction between these compounds is not possible.</u>
See figure 1

The minimum mass of NaHCO3 that must be added to the spill to neutralize the acid is 27.216 grams
<h3>calculation </h3>
write the balanced chemical equation
2NaHCO3 +H2SO4 → Na2SO4 +2H2O +2CO2
find the moles of H2SO4 = molarity x volume in liters
volume in liters = 27/1000=0.027 l
moles is therefore= 0.027 x6=0.162 moles
by use of mole ratio of NaHCO3: H2SO4 which is 2:1 the moles of NaHCO3=0.162 x2=0.324 moles
mass of NaHCO3= moles of NaHCO3 x molar mass of NaHCO3(84g/mol)
= 84g/mol x 0.324=27.216 grams
