Question

Organic acids and bases in their ___________ form are soluble in organic solvents, but the corresponding _________ are more water-soluble. Therefore, converting acids
and bases to the corresponding _________ provides a convenient tool to separate acidic, alkaline and neutral organic compounds.

Answer 1

Answer:

a. neutral

b. salts

c. salt

Explanation:

Organic salts are a dense number of ionic compounds with innumerable characteristics. They are previously derived from an organic compound, which has undergone a transformation that allows it to be a carrier of a charge, and that in addition, its chemical identity depends on the associated ion.

Organic salts are usually stronger acids or bases than inorganic salts. This is because, for example, in the amine salts, it has a positive charge due to its bond with an additional hydrogen: A + -H. Then, in contact with a base, donate the proton to be a neutral compound again

RA + H + B => RA + HB

H belongs to A, but it is written as it is involved in the neutralization reaction.

On the other hand, RA + can be a large molecule, unable to form solids with a crystalline network stable enough with the hydroxyl anion or oxyhydrile OH–.

When this is so, salt RA + OH– behaves as a strong base; even as basic as NaOH or KOH
